I'm about to buy parts to build my first machine, and I'm a bit curious about the whole OEM thing. Are there any parts that I should avoid getting as OEM?
[NOOB]
Does OEM mean that certain items, such as installation manual and hardware (screws and such) are not included? What downsides are there to getting OEM?
[/NOOB]
I've noticed that the majority of the parts I have in my newegg cart are OEM. I went back and checked and the majority of the parts they sell are OEM, and certain things (like hard drives) I can't even find as Retail. Weird.
