What you can do is pick up a WinXP OEM kit, which is the WinXP media only(like $8) Then you can pickup a WinXP COAs(certificates of authentication; cd-keys) for like $50 - $60.

:} That's how you get it for teh cheap.

COAs sound like the way to go ^^ having those Key's makes all the differance.

my only advice is have two separate harddrives, one for your system drive and one for your files, everything should run smoother that way, and get atleast 7200 rpm drives.

My new system has two chunks of software RAID spanned across two hard drives. One RAID1 (same data one two drives) for reliability, one RAID0 (data shared between two drives) for performance. I store my ripped footage on the RAID0, and then it can play back at insane speed by reading from both drives at once. Finished work goes onto the RAID1 - slow to write (because data has to go onto both drives) but it reads fast (because it can read from either drive in parallel). It's a nice system. The disadvantage is that I only get 3/4 of the storage capacity of the drives, because half of one drive is a duplicate of half of the other.
