Uniquely identify a PC

I got the following information from

,
The WPA system checks ten categories of hardwa
1. Display Adapter
2. SCSI Adapter
3. IDE Adapter (effectively the motherboard)
4. Network Adapter (NIC) and its MAC Address
5. RAM Amount Range (i.e., 0-64mb, 64-128mb, etc.)
6. Processor Type
7. Processor Serial Number
8. Hard Drive Device
9. Hard Drive Volume Serial Number (VSN)
10. CD-ROM / CD-RW / DVD-ROM
Is there an easy way to obtain the above information such as using a
script? I am looking for ways to uniquely identify a PC.
thanks!
The problem is that of the above, only the Processor Serial Number is
guaranted (by Intel) to be unique, and due to privacy concerns, most PCs by
default have access to the number turned off in the BIOS.
