Finished new pc but...

[TeleFragX]

I finished my new pc now i need windows xp. Can i buy it from scan without purchasing any hardware. I didnt have the money at the time of ordering parts but now i have.. will the order go though?

I'm interested in windows xp media center edition 2005 is this the system builder pack that has update roll up 2 on the disk?

if you buy windows either SP2 or MCE from Scan they are OEM - so to comply with the software agreement you have to buy either:

"(a) a fully assembled computer system or (b) a nonperipheral computer hardware component."

they say that a non peripheral computer harware component means a component that will be an integral part of the fully assembled computer system on which the individual software license will be installed - so perhaps you could by a cheap mouse etc....not sure if a IDE/SATA cable etc would be adequate - im sure the Scan guys will fill you in

Just order a cheap mouse with the copy of xp as thats all you need to buy for it to be legit

Im thinking of getting a:-

320Gb Seagate ST3320620AS Barracuda 7200.10, SATA2, 7200 rpm, 16MB Cache, , NCQ

so i have 2 x 200gb for storage and 1 x 320 for games and the os (and this 1 is sata 2)

would that be ok? i think it would.

yeh that should be fine - like i said best to double check with Scan but i cant see any probs with that at all - as long as its being used on the machine where XP/MCE will be installed

Anyone from Scan confirm this?!?!?

sorry for being off topic but telefragx, why did u go the intel route?

[TeleFragX]

Oh this is my pc - the one i have just built is for my dad.

I may go AM2 at the end of the month...

Any check on this this morning?

Can I buy just the CD and is this the system builder pack that has update roll up 2 on the disk?

An OEM OS would have to be purchased with a non-peripheral piece of hardware, something such as a 10/100 network card would qualify you for the OEM licence.

Oh ok - thanks Chris - guess a hdd will do..
is this the system builder pack that has update roll up 2 on the disk?

The product code on your site ends in 150 and the system builder pack with update rollup 2 ends in 200.. can you check please?
