The thing is I dont really trust themes that much as if you screw up it almost always results in a re-install. Maybe i'll try them out on a virtual machine when my new hdd comes in though. I hate waiting for parts to come in!! Although I cant complain with newegg and tigerdirect as they are both very good with shipping!!

With Bricko Packs, they create a restore point, so it's rare that your theme change may screw up your windows install. Still, the Virtual Machine idea is good.

I hate waiting for parts to come as well. I'm too antsy.

I think im going to try out Vmware's player to do the virtual machine! Has anyone tried it yet? I think im going to run vista ultimate 64bit, xp pro, and another xp pro and do some themes on it. I cant wait to get my hdd b/c my 320gb is full.

I was reading that the virtual machine 2007 is only specified for vista ultimate, is that right? If it will work on home premium then i might try it.
