You're probably going to need a resellers license in order to resell the licenses and you may look into becoming a microsoft certified partner http://members.microsoft.com/partner/default.aspx. A quick way to prep the machine would be take a particular system config and load your OS, drivers, etc and then do a sysprep and then image that machine with a third party utility such as ghost or drivepro. Then you can lay the new image onto your new machines and let the consumer personalize the installation. Of course detailed instructions on how to finish the installation would be helpful too.
