About $850 after shipping/MIRs. I'll be picking up Vista for hopefully $60 or less from my school.

You can use server08 then add the vista gui its faster then vista in most programs however there are some incompatibilities like you have to use avast enterprise edition.

Nick, I have not tried it but I believe that server 08 is a lot like vista.
EDIT: I see salty just got in there.
