that wasn't the point, you're comparing a different system x58 vs p67 , after the fact. i explained my choices (as well as stating i could go cheaper) and with just a casual glance, the price for p67 mobo's are cheaper and have yet to have triple channel mem. (which was the other thing the the system above has).
here's a current thread at gs with a few pro builders doing tests for the new intel chipsets http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/563862-sandy-bridge-preview-tests.html

But I guess my point is that I will have a system that will do just as good of job, with a warranty that took me 5 minutes to research. Its one less thing to worry about and its cheaper. So I save time and money and at the end of the day it will do the same job.

actually, it isn't cheaper and if i also went p67/p67 mobo, the total would drop. and like i said, that's ignoring the fact that i can get the o/s for free. nevermind that i also stated that i could easily go cheaper for things like the case, mobo, etc.
plus the next cycle, 2, 3, 4, 5 years down the line, i save even more money by simply switching mobo and cpu
anyways, as you didn't do an accurate comparison, there's no point to this.

from my digital life forum. http://forums.mydigitallife.info/forums/16-Windows-7
you get the official win 7 iso (retail and other specific ones. i think enterprise is more problems than it's worth )download for microsoft, making sure the hashtag (or whatever it's called) is correct and authentic. and you use a either a slip key or a loader (which i used. it was a lot easier).
you just have to make sure you have the right files for your mobo so you don't get a expired notice. all the stuff you need and the detailed instructions are at the site. it's pretty easy, even if i make it sound more difficult than it is.
added bonus, there's a file that allows you to turn any version of win 7 to an all-in-one version (for both the x86 and x64 release) meaning if you have the home premium you can unlock the other versions (pro, ultimate, etc). because you use it on your burnt iso i believe it also works on any retail (bought or downloaded).
using an untouched version from microsoft and using something like a loader, as opposed to those stripped down ones or the 'special' versions on the net, keeps you safe, allows you to know what's there and avoid issues.
i have no issues with updates but the site also provides info on any potential update issues some may get, especially when MS tries to battle piracy.
