Nope, unfortunately OEM Windows licences are tied to the machine.  
You'll often find that OEM keys on branded (i.e. Dell, IBM, Acer etc) 
machines don't work anyway when used with a normal Windows disc.

The only versions of Windows (and Office for that matter) than you can 
re-sell these days are retail boxed copies.  Microsoft's argument is 
that the OEM copies are tied to the machine which makes them more money 
(and is really annoying when a machine dies, you can't transfer the 
licence).
