Before I built this machine for a friend, I was worried about what components would work with Vista, as I had heard many nightmare stories. So for those that are interested, here's my budget build which does work great. I did have to download the realtek driver for the sound and the driver for the printer from canon. All had for £500 + p&p and runs very smoothly :-)
