i've only bought one copy of windows 7
its worked on 3 different PCs multiple different times

Technically you can also use a key up to 2-3 separate times from a single windows key, unless of course, you have certain agreements attached to your key like some of my copies I can install unlimited amount of times thanks to Dreamspark.

This is true, so long as the OS is installed to one computer at a time, so if you have two+ machines it can only be on one machine at a time.

EDIT:  Oh and I found Piecrunt's answer, OEM versions are tied to the motherboard versus retail versions which are just based on my above answer.

I guess I wasn't clear, I was talking about use as a normal computer, not a server.
I know the basics of using SSH and the fact servers don't really use GPUs, I was just saying I was pissed at how I had to install the drivers for the Azio Keyboard all the time.

What about BIOS flashing? Wouldn't that basically remove your key?
It's determined by hardware IDs, not the BIOS revision.

I installed my OEM version of windows 7 awhile ago on my new motherboard and it worked fine.

Seagate has a bad rep for noisy HDDs or even failing HDDs, I would go with something Western Digital, if you can go for a SSHD for Extra Storage.

I loving hate my Seagate 1TB 7200 Rpm drive, its noisy as forget, does WD have any SSHDs? Because I'm looking to buy a 1TB SSHD but I don't want to go seagate anymore.

Also my Main drive is a Samsung 850 Evo 120GB SSD.
