My first build. I guess I need the OS CD's all my computers are prebuilt.
I was going to get Windows MCE OEM version $109 on newegg with upgrade coupon. Should this be OK for first time builder (i.e. oem version) ? Should I consider Pro at $139 with vista upgrade? will the vista upgrade versions be the same?
