    I want to build a pc online and they have 2 choices:

    Windows 7 system builder and Windows 7 Retail
    The price difference between the retail and the system builder is 100 euros difference!
    What is the difference between the two? Can i get the system builder for my own pc? Or is it specially made?

    the difference is retail comes in a nice box with manuals and stuff. OEM gives you the disc and a license number.

    If the Retail version comes with a Badge/Sticker GET IT (if you have the $$)

    otherwise ignore my post.
