It makes me very sad that nearly all PC related items cost 3 times as much in Australia as they do in America.

Update! Just got a tracking number phrom Phed Ex!!
>_> (I think that's the phirst time I've ever typed 'Phed Ex' <_<
It will be delivered THIS PHRIDAY! 
Yes, I'm excited... and I'm hoping the transition goes well between my 5 year old 'business' computer to this one.
Which brings me to a question: What is the easiest or best way to move all my stuff phrom the old computer to this new one? (yes, it's been a while since I've done this) Opinions welcome!
Thanks!

XP has a profile transfer program in the accessory menu.
all you need to do is make sure both computers are networked

I dunno the phirst thing about networking two computers. I tried in the past but one was XP and the other was Win2000... then I phound it it couldn't be done. I tried so many different things back then, I'm tototally confuzzled now. :/

That's actually not a bad idea, and I've already called him... he may be over Saturday to help.  But... the networking could still be a problem... I dunno.

networking 2 computers is easy enough. I can give you instructions... possibly even talk you through it over xFire on IMAX's PC  However when I can get to an XP machine in about 2 hours I'll double check, you may be able to transfer between machines in an easier fashion.

Um... Imax's PC is not here. lol He lives about 40 miles away. lol
But... this may help: I have two computers now. This one has a wireless router, and the hubby's pc is in another room connected to the internet wirelessly to mine. (we never could get them networked because his has Win2000)
Once I have my new one set up, and everything copied from this one to it......... he will get my old computer, and THEN, we will both have Win XP, and can probably get a real network going.
So, I guess... the best thing to do would be to temporarily move the HD out of this one to the new one... copy everything, then put it back in my old one... and reformat it, do a phresh install of XP, and then give it to him.
I dunno... any easier way?

THat's probably the easiest way for you for now... without reconfiguring your pc's to network. windows 95, 98, 2000, XP & vista all talk to each other just fine... you just need to get the network settings right and set the security to match

Ha, sounds easier than getting my Xbox and PC to talk to each other through my router. My Xbox can connect to the net and so can my PC but they won't even recognise each other is there, despite anything I do! I hate networking. Personally if I ever get a new PC I'll connect my old HD up and transfer documents and files that way, or transfer via an external HD. Other settings such as looks etc.. I'd do over as I like fresh starts on occasion! Good luck though Phluff, hope you have no problems with the transfer!

New computers shouldn't be a cause for nail biting!
