Unless you go with Linux and cut the OS, and remove the optical drive (because mosly nobody`s using it anymore), you will not be able to cut much while maintaining performance.
P.S.: I have no optical drive in my build, and I`m dandy

Oh, i bet there's plenty way cheaper windows versions.. like paying 10-20$ to random guy to install you it.Although linux is an option too.
Advocating piracy will get you banned. Might want to rethink recommending people pay "some random guy $10" for Windows if you like posting in these forums.
