Question How do you switch from OEM to retail?

Some of the parts for my new build will be bought from the manufacturer (OEM), but I WILL need the manuals! So far, I plan to purchase all of my parts from Newegg. What do I have to do to switch from buying the OEM version of the product to the retail, customer-friendly version?

Don't worry if you ordered OEM parts...you can always download the manuals (if there are any) from the part manufacturer's web site.

You can purchase the official pretty printed manuals on eBay. They are posted pretty regularly.

But why? Manuals can be downloaded (if any, that are needed) from the manufacturer's website (as Cricket said).
