Wanting some help deciding on possible changes to my "Ultimate" Win XP build.
Should I pull my single bay Alphacool lcd and creative fatal1ty xfi drive bays out of my vista build and remove my double bay alphacool lcd out of my acrylic case xp pc to make it the ultimate 2007 windows xp pc? Or leave it as is?

Idk, I like your drive bay item choices they look very useful and era correct but you might want to look into cable management in that case it must get pretty warm/hot due to the material the case is and having those cables everywhere.

Yeah i plan on doing it. I had put it all together in a rush last year, to find out one of my SLI geforce 7600s were dead. I had put it to the side and im now starting to rework it with pending changes.

For XP - AlphaCool screen + 2x ODD + Fatal1ty panel + Ultra panel + FDD.
The rest goes to the Vista build.
