Ohh, looks nice to me. Though I think you should use vista on that machine, as Vista has Ready Drive. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista_I/O_technologies#ReadyDrive
Also, that computer should be fine for running Vista, so you can get the real experience. I know someone who disliked vista, but got a new laptop with it, and now he likes vista.
Nah, I'm an XP follower, for sure.
It'll be my test machine for iterations of Windows 7 Though.
Readydrive doesn't really apply, as XP runs SSD's fine.
Well, from what I've heard from Paul Thorrott, Vista takes advantage of Hybrid drives better than XP. I would recommend that before installing XP, just use a Vista disk to install Vista without a product key to try it out for 30 days. Then, install XP and see how it goes.

The Q6600 can OC to 3618, however I need to reinstall it to lower temps, I will lap it at the same time. The 8800 GTS 320MB is a temp card, I will either get a 4850\4870 1GB or GTX 280\285, which I will heavly OC.
