You could invest in a program like radia or netinstall, buy your self a database program to go along with it and lots of other nice addon and suits. Or you make a clean installation of the OS you want, install the programs you want till you have your desired basic setup, then use a program like norton ghost and create an image, which you can use to revert the computer back to the setup state. You can also use windows restore, just make a restore point after everything is installed, but don't forget to write down the date of your restore point
