I'll have to wait a while before buying one :) Mmm, that keyboard does look nice, but it’s a good £50. I’ll have to wait a while before buying one :)

Getting Windows loaded was a right pain in the buttocks - issues with the Azalia HD stuff from Intel and drivers not detecting the right PCI IDs. Installed twice, tried numerous QFEs and finally deleted a random PCI device from the device manager and it all worked. Hmm, I’ll look around and see if I can find one.

Sounds like a sexy machine :). If you want to splurge for the keyboard, check out the Logitech G15... it's designed as a "gaming keyboard", which means the keys have a good lifespan and action on them, there's a switch to turn off the windows key when you're playing a game so you don't accidentally hit it, and a stack of programmable macro keys on the side. The keys also have a blue backlight to them. I picked one up a while back, and I actually really like it... I currently use it on my 360. Nice! Sounds like a sexy machine :).
