    hi

    I have moved to Japan and am thinking of selling some of the japan only notebooks out here that arent available in the U.K. on ebay.

    Ill need to install english vista or xp and im wondering what the cheapest way of doing it is.

    Is it possible to buy them in batches to get a reduced price? What do small local pc builders do - buy them individually at shop prices?

    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Its a shame theres no way I cant qualify for a cheaper version as im basically just wanting to have the preinstalled os which i paid for in a different language.
