Or just buy a new hard drive and an OEM copy of Windows from your
local "computer parts" store, and save some money (while also getting
more storage space).

Unless the rules have changed in the last few weeks, a hard drive,
motherboard, or possibly CPU qualifies the buyer as purchaser of a new
system, and therefore as a system builder who is able to get OEM
pricing legally.  2K or XP (home) should run somewhere aruond $50 in
that case, IIRC.
