Try and buy an old machine that has the validation sticker on the machine.
This way you will get the valid license.

The sale of COA keys on ebay is of dubious legality and you will find it hard to activate your XP copy without media and certificate of authenticity. It's best to stretch to a legal installation if windows is your OS of choice. Yes, you can try to disable or hack WGA but you'll be playing cat and mouse with Microsoft from hereon in and locking yourself out of important security updates.

No idea, but watch the advice. XP is registered to A SPECIFIC COMPUTER!! it must be validated when you install it, and the validation process includes checking your computer. If it is a second computer, it must match (without major changes) the previous computer. You can change hard drives/cpu's memory etc. but you can not change MB's without some hassle, and a different brand is out of the question.

you cannot use a key from another PC so ignore that answer. you can get a cheap copy from ebuyer around £30.00 or you can try and validate a fake copy and it will bring up the option to validate it legally for around £40.00.
other than that go for eBay every time .
