Scott Hanselman has a very cool blog post series on building a developer machine that (almost) has a 7.9 Windows Experience Index, the highest value currently available. If you are planning to build a new dev pc, this is definitely worth a look. Normally I get my input from tweakers best buy guide and related comments, but this feels like a serious showcase that I would love to rebuild.

The post also contains videos of building the machine and links to other interesting tweaks.

Very nice!
