Planning on Building a PC next month

[LiNuX]

Hmm, my thing is in a few years I will pretty much have to switch to Vista..
I'm trying to decide if it would be worth it to turn around and buy vista anyway in a few years. plus with SP1 I hear they have improved alot of the problems so before too long there shouldn't be any. I probably wont know for sure what i'll do until the last minute on that because I love XP and Vista is like having an annoying little brother.

xp has lasted very long if you haven't noticed and it is still the most used OS among not just gamers, but everyone.

think about this, in a few years, if you HAVE to upgrade, you will probably have a job or so or some kind of fund source to get what you need easily

like i was able to build my server because i had the money from my last job, my dad did have to help out a little but not much - same with my current computer

but again it really don't matter what you go with, having this kind of experience will probably be good for you, and i am speaking through experience but this is second hand exp for you, so trying it first hand might not be bad good luck with whatever it is you decide
