What kind of PC. I may have a Dell one. I know that some of the OEM discs need to be the right brand to install so if you don't have a dell then it may not work.

Yes, I do want an XP Home Edition install CD.

No, I do not want a recovery / restore CD...Those with the codes integrated.

It doesn't have to be OEM but it does need to be able to install on any brand 'PC'. A general OEM or retail would likely work best. I did have an OEM but accidently let it go out with a customer's system and never got it back. :( I do not need the Product Key.

FYI, OEM keys won't work with retail versions...I found out the hard way - Microsoft support confirmed this for me.

XP OEM disk usually go for $75 to $100 on eBay. A Dell disk will work as a OEM disk but you will need software such as RockXP (http://download.softpedia.com/dl/5ea20ce76f7b8f256d9c27e16170dee3/45f5d062/100009291/software/os_enhance/RockXP4.zip) to change the key so that you can activate it with the correct key. I've done this many times with no issues.
