Hi,

I am doing a budget PC Build and was wondering if you guys knew any places I could get windows
8 for cheap?

Thanks

honestly, with most current version software, the best you're going to find is the OEM version. They're not going to differ by much from Microsoft's MSRP pricing. That's probably your best bet.

The only way to get it cheaper is if you're a student. You can get a student & teacher copy at your college/university (and certain high schools) for 10-45 bucks.

Do developers get a discount? Or only students

Only students. You can go to your university to ask. Chances are, they're going to ask you for a valid student ID to buy it in the school store.
