Because a) the desktop pc does not have a hard drive, I will be 
installing mine internally and b) I don't have a copy of windows to 
install on my hard drive.

I wasn't aware of this website you mention and I don't know if that 
number would be included in the numbers I can call with my bundled 
minutes. I'll check that out.
