The PC will be used for building games, multimedia, internet, office, and playing games. It'll run 98 cause i'm not paying $200 for windows XP. I must incorporate a 6 series for this reason. 7\8 are not supported. As for the Xbox linux, I had considered it but they no longer sell xboxs. I think I'll get the Wii. However, I can fix up a Pentium III PC and get a Wii, or build a new one and settle for a:
Playstation 2
Gamecube
Nintendo DS
Gameboy advance SP
Xbox 1 (if I can find one...)
decisions...
I'm getting my parts from Newegg, by the way. If you know of a better store, please let me know.
