Default OEM? What Does It Mean?

Well, I understand what it means, but...Do I need to be 'non-oem'? I'm building a PC, just purchased antec 900 and earthwatts 500 psu with p35 mother board. Everyone says that OEM means it comes without screws, cables, or instructions. Will the power supply / motherboard come with the SATA cable I need? I am looking at this hard drive.

If anyone can recommend another quiet 16mb cache 500gb hard drive for around 100 bucks that is not "OEM", I'd appreciate it.

OEM Means you just get the drive and brief instructions.

Your mobo will come with everything else anyway.

Usually means (a) you don't get the fancy landfill box and (b) you are entitled to a reduced cost OEM copy of Windoze. (Means nothing to Linux else we would have to pay people to use it!)

Motherboard will come with more than enough, trust me, PSU should come with the SATA power and motherboard with extra data cables.
