I've worked a lot with imaging for Linux cluster installs.
(Must admit to not having to image any Windows systems)

There are several ways of imaging systems - dd, rsync etc.
and the Systemimager package.
I think Systemimager is Linux specific.

g4u (ghost for unix) looks the ticket for you

You boot the PC to be imaged using a special bootdisk (CD or floppy)
(I guess this could be done over the network) and upload the image
to a server via FTP. It is stored compressed.
