Once i've plucked up enough courage to continue building my PC. I'll need an OS for it. My mum has a version of Xp which on the disc says "for Dell home PCs only". Is this actually for Dell PCs or is it just misleading so nobody tries to use it on their PC?

But why the heck would anyone buy 98 anyway? And for more than Xp eludes me completely.

Thats because XP is more easily avalible now, and is as such cheaper.

The Dell Licence will work fine but it is still against the microsoft copyright thingys but what they don't know won't hurt them, I am sure that Dells come with a disk that is just a rebadged OEM and not a recovery disk.

That's only for updates and such isn't it? If so then i don't mind getting an illegal patch. But i may just get a legal version just because it's legal :D

Ah, I didn't know that. I though microsoft would have a failsafe for that.

You can get away with using the same serial twice by the way.

It should work, but the serial number cannot be used twice, and so you will need a new one. Whether you get it leagaly (buying another copy [URL] http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/ [/URL] £61.04) or get an illegal keygen I leave up to you (for peice of mind I would get a legal copy).
