Just out of curiosity, do you mod for a living? If not, then what in the hell do you do that gives you so much free-time?

Looking pretty sweet. Infact you're giving me some ideas! (which isn't neccessarily a good thing
)Word to the wise, you might want to blur out the CD-key on that windows authenticity sticker on the back of the case. I don't think anyone here would be enough of a jerk to try and steal your CDKEY but you never know, better safe than sorry.

Yep.
Microsoft lets you re-use the key occasionally (once or twice a year i think) if you update your hardware. (sort of, lots of snags and gotchas) So if somebody took the key, (since he hasn't updated the hardware) then installed windows with it; it would take his free re-activation. Then if SkyKast updated his hardware and tried to reinstall with his legally-owned key it would fail. If he tried again a few times without phoning microsoft and reporting it then they'd blacklist the key, making it useless forever.

Like they say, this kind of stuff usually punishes the legal users while the pirates get by anyway.

You actually don't need the restore cd. So long as your cd-key isn't in a group that's been blacklisted since microsoft updated their discs, any OEM version of windows XP should install with it (provided same version i.e. XP PRO or XP HOME). You can just download the image (not legally, but hey) and burn yourself a new restore disc. The software on those discs is the same, except for brand-specific crap they throw in like HP-RECOVERY MANGAGER 20000 super ultra helpfulnessizer!!!! or whatever.

well then you can go back to the first post of this thread, magnify, and BOOM; you got your legal copy of windows back.... by pirating the disc image, and then pirating the key - off yourself
