However I would tend to use a virtual machine for that since ghosting a machine takes a good few minutes.

Slightly faulty ram is a good one. Breaking the MBR is good too, or making windows unbootable- using xp repair etc.

There are repositories of viruses etc.

That means nothing, I've seen ;loads of infected business machines.
It's often worse because the IT person thinks the Client/server Nortons they have on them takes care of everything.

Forget infecting PCs, that's not a good test anyway, do what some of the others have suggested with hardware problems etc.
