First, put in the OS X install disc, and use it to partition your entire hard drive (choose GUID partition). DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE INSTALL. Restart, and then install Windows (you will have to reformat the Windows partition, but the OS X side should be untouched. Then you can reinsert the OS X disc and install it to the previously set up GUID partition. Install the bootloader of your choice (Kakewalk, iBoot, etc.) and restart. If you enjoy cool boot screens you can even use some of the Chameleon skins (Google "chameleon theme park") for maximum style points.

Maybe this wasn't true at the time of writing this article, but there are absolutely stunning PC enclosures that would certainly match Apple for simple, elegant beauty. Some examples: Silverstone Fortress FT02/FT03 Silverstone Temjin TJ07 Corsair 650D There are others, also. Hope this helps someone, as you article was a big help to me!  Just as a(n) (late and maybe unnecessary) aside, I would have to whole-heartedly disagree with your friends in regards to the “function without form” comment.
