I am buying two systems for my husband and I for gaming, hopefully with options for upgrading graphics cards in the future. I currently cannot afford the DX10 cards, but I would hope for the systems to be ready to take one when later in the year when the ATi cards are released and they are more reasonably priced. I would love to wait for the new cards to release and prices to drop, but we need them ASAP since we don't have PCs right now (just moved back to the US and our old ones were, well, old and not worth bringing over). SLi/Crossfire is not something I'm interested in either (I already need one card for each machine it would just get silly buying four), and I don't need wireless/firewire/etc since we pretty much just use them for gaming and browsing the web.
