Reformats are fun -- cool utilities

Today I reformated my computer at work.It REALLY needed a fix, it was running so slow!
Anyway, I got 90% of the things I need installed in 1 day, which is pretty good.Now I'm wondering:I want to make a backup image of this install... should I use Norton Ghost or Acronis TruImage?
The first thing I like to do is customize the UI a bit...to do that I first patch uxtheme, then I download a nice visual style & background.
So far I am liking Milk, Simple Plan, and of course Water Color.I also found a good milk-look-alike called Kuantum that has extras for the Yz dock.Yz dock is a mac-cloned taskbar that auto-magnifies when your mouse rolls over it.I like this thing, and it goes great with TopDesk.
Anyway, here's a screenshot of the style in action:
YZ Dock looks like this:
