Got a brand new desktop in transit as we speak! Liquid cooled AMD X6 1100T, 8GB of DDR3, Radeon 6950 2GB, and nice solid state harddrive for Windows 7 (64-bit). (Extras include TV tuner and a 2TB data hard drive)

It's my first system since I bought my $2300.00 Sager laptop in 2006. Truly the only reason I upgraded was the shipments back and forth from deployments eventually wore on the screen. (Started developing lines)

My question is, what initial steps do you guys typically with your new machines? Set-up tips, best practices, essential programs, ect, ect. I have a work laptop I can use while I transition to my new machine, so I have time to do things properly.
