How Many Changes Before a EULA Violation??

As I understand it, the EULA on an OEM box comuter (Microsoft) requires the OS be used only on that Computer.
Now I've heard of people having to justify changes they made to these machines.

Maybe 'Genuine (Dis)Advantage picks these up. DK.

Question ralates to how many and what is a "change."

Like to put in a Video Card, one needs to change the OEM PSU for a decent PSU.

Is this one change or two?

also adding a controller for SATA or a Sound card.

Want to upgrade a MCE 2005 OEM rig with VID Card, Tuner card, and PSU to support same so as to make use of Media center 2005 OS.

Also OEM cases are too small and crappy to work with.

What if the whole enchilada, i.e. ALL the parts in an OEM rig are just simply moved to another larger case. All parts are the same. What constitutes a "compueter change"??? for the OEM M$ OS ?
