From this guy here:Microsoft Product Keys - Windows, Office, and More! - NEW STOCK! : softwareswap

PMed him what I was looking for, he gave me his Paypal address, PMed him $20, and he PMed me back 2 keys. Link here:Upgrade Windows with only a product key - Microsoft Windows Help
let's you either install it, or you can also create an ISO disc, if you were looking to put the OS on another computer.

Edit: This was posted just recently on the Windows 8 thread here, which is how I found out about it.

Oh hell ya! Thanks!

Edit: Bought it. Been on the lookout for a new SSD. Now is this the same as the 840 Pro series I see on Newegg? Will have to Google to see if there's a difference. So excited!!

Have a new Win8 pro key ready to go on it and everything!

Google worked out well. This thread explains the difference:Samsung 840 pro ssd vs samsung 840 evo ssd [Solved] - SSD - Storage.

Except I've gotten 3 keys from him and they've all been different. If it was a volume license he was selling, wouldn't they all be the same?

They're almost always hacked from technet accounts. Maybe he's not silly enough to send the same key to the same person three times.

anyone else using dual monitors, get this problem before?

When im using both monitors I have my main that I would be playing dota 2 on or something, and the other id have a forum or youtube up, now when im on dota 2 and its full screen and I go over to my other monitor to check the forum or youtube, it minimizes my dota 2 or any game as soon as I click over to the next screen.

That's because the game is running in fullscreen mode. See if it has a windowed or windowed (fullscreen) mode in the video settings.

Yep, you can't interact with your other monitor while in a full screen mode game. You will need to play ina window if you want to interact with the other monitor beyond just looking at it.

Most games anymore have a setting for "full screen window" which is ideal so you don't lose any screen real estate to stupid window borders

Had dual monitors for so long I forgot some may not know how to set it up to take full advantage of the second screen.

Got my Samsung 840 EVO 250gb in the mail today! Damn these things are tiny as all hell. Pretty sure I don't have a SSD tray/converter so that it fits right into my cases existing HDD trays. Time to take a trip to Fry's Electronics.
