Why a new comp? You can always just buy a large HDD, and partition say 20GB for xp, and use xp only for flashing.

Thats what I will be doing.

Dont think i need more HDD space.
HDD space (free/total): 2,70 TiB/12,28 TiB.
Have about 5TiB in 2 linux boxes also.
For flashing/running XP I THINK 18TiB of space is enough :D

So I need a new computer too play around with.

So you have 18 Terabytes of space total? So it sounds to me like you have alot of extra cash to spend... If your just running XP for flashing, you can get any mobo, and use a via card. I believe the nvidia motherboards work for flashing without the via card, but they dont always work... Its better to invest in the card.

Go to a site like newegg, and checkout their stock, read reviews etc.
