First, what do you want to do with these computers, e.g. browse the 
web, write papers, e-mail, burn CDs, run specific software?

Second, do you have an inventory of all the machines?  That is, for 
each machine, what speed/type/number of CPUs, amount of RAM, 
size/number of hard drives, speed/type/number of network cards, IP 
address/name?  Unfortunately, I don't know an easy way to find this 
information on Windows.
