New Windows Machine

So, I just bought a new (old) computer from a thrift store. 50 bucks and a few hours of installing/updating and I'm almost ready to plug it into my projector and watch thousands of hours of Netflix movies. Ummmm... big screen!
But before that can happen, I'd like to recap the install process.
1. Formatted the hard drive
2. Installed Win XP, SP2
3. Installed a wireless dongle (netgear wireless G)
4. Updated to SP3
5. Installed Google Chrome (to be able to surf internet while windows explorer was busy with downloading millions of files, updating itself, etc).
5b. Saved tabs for Hulu, Netflix and Craigslist
5c. Intalled Flash plugin (for hulu) and Silverlight (for netflix)
6. Installed all windows recommended updates.
7. Downloaded the latest versions of the following programs:
AVG Antivirus
Foxit Reader (for PDF's)
Open Office.org Suite
PDF ReDirect (pdf writer)
VLC Player
8. Installed said programs
9. Searched (a LONG time) for drivers (audio and ethernet controllers)... found them. Installed. Yeepie! It works!

Peace
