I am not sure how similar the hardware on all your systems are, but if
there aren't too many variations in RAID controllers, video cards (if
you have them), etc., then SystemImager and the System Installer Suite
(SIS) may be helpful to you. It uses rsync with a post install
configuration system (system configurator) to install new machines as
copies of old ones. We use it for all GNU/Linux systems we don't PXE
boot.

http://sisuite.sourceforge.net/
It may seem complicated, but it is pretty easy to set up.

SIS would also help with these. We make images of our ``unique''
servers to disk from time to time so that they can be rebuilt easily.
