First of all, you can potentially buy the OEM version of Windows 7 from NewEgg.com and save a great deal of money.

That being said, I would strongly recommend against installing the Home version of Windows 7 in an office environment.  I have contributed to a lot of Experts Exchange questions that were written by IT personnel with the best of intentions, but they encountered significant problems utilizing Windows 7 Home-based operating systems on a business-oriented network.
Why would you buy the OEM version of Windows 7 from NewEgg?  Getting it pre-loaded on the system is generally not very expensive especially if you consider the cost of your time.  Further, the machines COME with Win7 these days.  You want to buy it twice?
Leew, I would actually do exactly what you recommend and buy from an Account Rep at Dell.  However, since the author's question is missing several variables and he seemed to be specifically asking for a good source to buy the Windows 7 OS at a reasonable price (because he may be building them himself?), I thought I would pass along one of my favorite vendors.
(No offense intended - kinda exhausted - LONG day - I see how you would interpret the question that way when I read it again with the subject as part of the body).
Not at all, Leew.  I always value your input and appreciate the added perspective that you give us!
