Cloning install to other PCs

[Peerzy]

Evening,

I've got a PC with Windows 7 installed, I've got a number of identical PCs that I'd basically like to clone across to (to save having to go through installing Windows, drivers etc.... again and again).

What is the best free tool to do this? I'm guessing it'll allow me to create a DVD which is then bootable, I'll pop that into the second, third, forth etc... PCs and boot from it and it'll 'install' the image?

Just to clear things up I'd normally use WDS or similar but it isn't really needed in this situation. The network will be 7 identical PCs and a server with no scope to expand. My thinking is it would be easiest to setup 1 PC and then just mirror across to the other 6.

Will give Macrium Free Edition a go, the major requirement is to be able to have it on a bootable DVD which I can't see clearly if it does but it's worth a shot.
