Oh yea, i forgot about the legal thing... Ah well, a licence of Windows XP Pro can't cost that much, can it? Anyway, for a workstation, a dual FX-53 with with a gig of low latency pc3200, a 9800xt, a 74gb 10,000rpm drive for the OS, a 250gig for storage, and all the other shiz found in a comp can be bought for ~$3000.
