Question 1) Do you currently run windows Vista?

Not on my gaming rig at the moment. However, I do have Vista on one other machine.



Question 2) Does your system run on air cooling, water cooling or other (please state)?

Air Cooling for all.



Question 3) How much do you money do you spend on your system per year?

Couple hundred bucks.



Question 4) Are you currently running DX10 or plan to in the next 6 months?

Depends on the cost of video cards within the next 6 months. If a mid-ranged DX10 card is in the $175-$225 range, then maybe. And only if the mid-range card has better specs than my current video card as my current card is pretty decent at the moment considering.



Question 5) What is your next hardware purchase going to be?

Well considering my Dell XPS410 runs with a 375W PSU I'd need to hunt down a PSU that would run my mid-range video card. So...a PSU, but then the video card.
