I've used Unattended <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/>, though it's 
not an imaging technology. Since you have identical machines, imaging 
technology should work. I've heard of but never used Acronis for this. 
It's worthwhile learning to use Unattended if you anticipate having to 
do such installations for other machines since you can script those 
installations, too.
