I do custom builds for people, generally with generic parts for very cheap. No real customizations... but I just hate the XP theme, I switch it back to class view. Besides custom wallpaper and my own picky way of organizing the Start Menu, really little else I do. I usually partition things into 3 parts for Program Files, Games, and data ... if that counts However currently I am using a laptop, mostly for the mobility. I'm not that mobile, but I like something I can carry around if necessary. I bought a new machine a few weeks back after my old one died. It is the cheapiest 15.4" with a Mobility Radeon X1600 Acer Aspire 5672 Intel Core Duo 1.66 1 GB DDR2 RAM 120 GB SATA Hard drive Mobility Radeon X1600 128MB Purchase price: $1079.99 Of course I reformatted it and installed XP Pro, converted the hard drive to NTFS partitions.
