If I buy a new PC, can I install XP without fucking everything up? I heard that the hardware might not work properly since they are built to work with Vista.

I dont own Vista , but im pretty sure it's the other way around;
Vista's not built properly for the hardware it's released on.
Most hardware companies will have XP drivers since most schools and businesses will still use XP until the first Vista service pack

You can if you make sure that there are drivers available for all of the hardware that is in your PC. Some manufacturers have not really changed the components of their computers other than more memory and Vista...whereas others have.
To be honest, it'll be way more hassle than it's worth, speaking from personal experience. If you're looking to buy a computer from a large retailer (Best Buy, etc.) Look into their business program or extended selection because more often than not you'll be able to order a computer with XP on it (because a lot of businesses still need XP) which includes all of the nessesary software included with it (recovery disks).
Otherwise, you're going to have to find drivers for everything in your computer separetly or look for a model whose hardware did not change from XP to Vista incarnations.
