[QUOTE="XJ-linux, post: 1014057, member: 33722"] Kind of a waste of good hardware, but yes you can run Windows 99% of the time via Bootcamp on any Intel-based Apple hardware. Just follow the Bootcamp instructions on Apple's website. I'd imagine you will want to update some of the Windows drivers once all of the Bootcamp drivers are installed. Many people seem to go out and grab the latest NVIDEA drivers for gaming. Obviously, whatever OS's you are planning to boot from should be installed on the internal HDD as it would be incredibly slow running from an external drive. The external monitor will work fine controlled by the Windows 7 OS, just like a laptop from any other manufacturer. Good luck, but you might consider playing with Mac OS X once you are up and running. Many people prefer it to Windows after a few tries. [/QUOTE]
