I have to agree with Les.

I also created a SYSPREP image for our standardized machines. I've then created an image using PowerQuest DriveImage and used the powercast function to apply the image to multiple computers at the same time. The next step is to experiment with PXE and see whether I just need to plug in a network cable and boot up the PC to have the image applied.

It definitely saves some time even if you set up machines only every once in a while.
