glen, it comes down to how much you want to spend. if you want, you can keep your current drives, unless you planning on keeping the original machine as a backup (which is a good idea, actually).

i usually build my machines from parts that i pick out. however, newegg.com has some nice stuff that is reasonably priced. i do think that you might want to build your own, however, as buying a machine with mirrored drives and Win7Pro is going to require the purchase of a 'workstation' which will have the 'workstation' premium attached to it.

if you'd like, i can make a 'wishlist' on newegg for a complete PC and you can take a look at it. again, if you give me an idea of how much you want to spend and what you expect to be included (monitor, printer, keyboard, mouse, whatever) and anything you must have (a certain style of mouse or color, for example), i can put together a build list for you to peruse.
