Don't forget to add an operating system.

Windows XP Pro

Windows Vista Home Premium
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116485

Of course, there are other options for the operating system as well. The ones I listed are OEM, you may want to go with retail if you replace your computer often (You can move a retail license to another computer, but an OEM license is locked to one computer).

I don't include an OS by default as a lot of people have them already.

Not as far as I'm aware, you will be given a product ID on screen, entering that using your phone keypad will then give you a new CD key to enter.

If your old computer has an OEM license (which a Dell does), then you will have to purchase a new license. If you have a custom built computer that has a retail license, then you can transfer the license from the old computer to the new computer.
