Why pay all of that money for Windows Vista???
-XP works fine and is a great OS
-Vista drivers are pure bullshit for most companies right now, most likely your video card won't work how it is intended to
-Its EXPENSIVE, you can get XP Pro for free off the internet. And don't gimme that BS about not being able to download updates. (just don't install the WGM
-It just looks nicer... You're prolly going to be spending most of the time on your OS with some APP, game, or Program taking up the entire screen.
---There are some perks to Vista, if you are worried about security, etc...
Why buy a new DVD rom??? Just use your old one...
-Don't! they all work the same
-Don't pay for lightscribe, unless you really plan on using it
Need a new keyboard and mouse??? prolly not, just clean your old ones!
-Dell and HP ARE charging you for these, and it is not the Wal-Mart generic version price.
If you have a full size tower already made by HP, IBM, or Dell then most likely it is a lot quieter then those stupid looking oversized alien head ones with glowing eyeballs and talking digital display. The lighting on those things will cause your neighbors to buy little eyepatches to help them sleep at night.... and the noise from all of those cheap little fans you have to constantly replace are louder then all the server racks in Sprints Data Center.
Point of story, if your on a budget.. ignore upgrading the bullshit.

And be sure to buy your software. Don't use illegal versions of the OS. You want free, get a linux distribution. Bootlegging copywritten software is illegal and can lead to arrest, fines and possibly imprisonment. If you use the software, buy the software. It's the bootleggers that keep the prices high for us all.
