Have you tried moving the same files between the same two PCs with both using XP and then both using Vista? Elsewise how can you compare?

He's challenging your credibility about declaring how Vista is inferior for transferring large files by simply pondering the thought of you carrying out a fair comparison in which all variables, save the independent variable, are controlled and the dependent variable can be measured reliably and accurately.
I think Vista is a fantastic desktop OS, but its not all that good for use on any sort of network.
I know because I have XP, Server 2003, Linux and Vista systems.
Well your trying to argue that staying away from vista is bad advice. In this case its not.
Vista had a problem with files on networks, especially with computers running XP or Server 2003. SP1 is supposed to have fixed that, unless you are running Media Player at the same time(!)
But I'm not sure what that has to do with the OP's situation.
He wants to build a PC that can transfer large files..... that what it has to do with the OP.
No, but as its not on auto update yet I can't recommend using Vista.
1. SP1 is on auto update. Mine updated through auto update ~3 weeks ago.
2. The Vista problem was only with regard to networks. The OP never mentioned networks.
Blizen no matter how much you argue with me (and I know you love to do so) it does not change the fact that for a simple PC to move files around XP is a better bet than Vista.
ps
SP1 is still a manual update, not an auto update. :O_o1:
I have a similar case to that that I just used for my latest build. I think it's just the front bezel is different, the chassis, sides and top look the same. FWIW, the case is warm when running with the sides and top locked in place, you'll need to install the optional fan to the front, and/or install a thirdparty cooler on the cpu. Big problem with a third party cooler and that chassis (if it is the same as mine) is that there's a big chunk of metal 'platform' (on which the HDDs are installed/supported) which partially obscures the cpu from directly above, so any cooler has to be installed PRIOR to sliding the mobo/tray into the case, and it' can't be very tall either. In my case, I just managed to squeeze a Thermalright blue orb II in, but I really do mean squeeze, and the temps are down by 10* compared with the stock intel on my Q6600. If I do decide to open up the case again to refit/install anything, I'll probably take the opportunity to change the cooler to a gold orb I think, with it's slightly smaller diameter it should fit a little easier :) (and stick the blue orb into my other pc which is still using it's stock cooler).
