Some parts carry unique ID numbers that may be available through some function.
None of them is perfect though.

Examples:
- hard disks contain a physical ID, however under Vista you need admin rights to read it.
- Ethernet network cards have a MAC ID, it can be temporarily modified by software.
- the baseboard often has a serial number, it gets stored in the BIOS EEPROM, and can be wiped out by a BIOS upgrade.
etc.

In a secure environment, and when available, I would go for the baseboard number.
You would need WMI (Win32_BaseBoard) to get at it.
