Hi, I am looking to set up a small [virtual] shop and I am gonna be selling systems. I have managed to find cheap hardware, but windows is of great concern to me. I need a CHEAP OEM version of windows since a retail one will add way to much to the final price. Of course, i could get it off IRC and then burn it and make labels to make it look semi-legal, but I dont want to get busted.

does anyone have any idea where I might find such a version? for around 100bux?

Unless you are a proper PC distributor, I don't think you can get Microsoft OEM software unless it comes with a new system. The best thing to do is to contact Microsoft and ask them how their OEM purchasing/selling works.

But jail is so comfortable........

If you are legit then you can probably set up an account at Ingram Micro or another wholesaler and get your stuff there. Or else see what Microsoft recommends.
