Installing Windows (w/out paying for it)

[TripleEntendre]

Okay, so I'm planning on building a gaming PC, and I'm trying to do this under a budget, so one of the ways I was thinking of saving money was to just use my key code on a new install CD. I know I can't use the install CD I have right now, because it's OEM, and will only work with certain hardware. Now, I've never had to install Windows before, so I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I'm assuming when you buy Windows, it comes with the key code, which you need to use when you install it, so I was wondering, are there any places online that I can buy just an install disk (w/out key code)? I would think that there would be places online that sell them really cheap.

This is probably going to sound stupid, but I'm not exactly sure what I should be searching for. I searched for windows install cds and didn't find anything.

I searched on ebay, by the way.

Oh, and I'm sorry for double-posting, but for some reason, it won't let me edit my post in Opera.

maybe try to specify what you are looking for winXP cd, Win2000CD?

Heres a sample in EBAY

Don't think you can do that here.
