In fact, waiting on my doorstep right now should be a new motherboard, processor, memory and video card for my desktop unit. Those current components in my PC are about 5 years old. Last year I upgraded hard drives, case, power supply and OS, to Windows 7/64bit.
How much time do you figure you put into one of those builds?
It will consume most of my weekend. Pulling all the old components out of my case and reinstalling everything should take an hour or so. I like to go really slow and be really careful. Then assuming it boots up it takes a few hours to install Windows and run all the updates. Not sure how long it will take to update Windows 7. Last time I installed Windows XP it took several hours to install all the service packs and security updates, but Windows 7 doesn't have that many fixes (yet). I won't be installing much software, Google Chrome, Filezilla, 7zip, Foxit Reader, etc. I'll probably re-download most of my games via Steam and copy over my 40GB of custom Left4Dead2 maps.
