yea, seriously. Just acquire one of those CDs that installs XP without any user input... pop it in, reboot, repartition, format, walk away for 30 minutes, install drivers, install software. No more than 2-3 hours of work getting all the basic apps and drivers running.

But wheres the fun in that. The risk of screwing up alone is worth the try.

haha. Ok, have fun with that. I think I've just installed Windows on enough computers that I don't ever want to have to do it again.
