If you have the space on your main drive you could probably shrink the partition a few hundred gigs and dual boot linux on it.
Swap over whenever you need something on Windows, easy peasy.

I did consider that. I've had more than one experience of screwing things up. The $300 investment was an insurance policy against me doing that again :) . With how happy I am with a cheap box it might be something to consider when I have a free weekend to mess with it... Or when a Windows Update installs more stuff that I don't want.
I really like stuff to work. My tinkering days are limited.
I think linux should be on a dedicated drive. Theoretically Windows should coexist with other operating systems. Realistically it nukes dual-boot setups with great regularity. It is called "win" after all...
