Well if the driver disks are current it would but they almost never are.
When I was building we almost never used bundled driver discs due to
age, always tried to throw in floppies of updated bench copies. These
days I'd be giving a custom driver CD, DVD backup image of boot
partition, and slipstreamed windows CD with SP's & drivers along with
legit original.
I also like the idea of copying the windows CD onto the D: drive &
pointing windows there for later "need windows cd" situations. Boot
drive does not need to be bigger than 6GB IMHO, makes restore disks &
process bearable. The rest of the drive space should always be
partitioned separately as D: or E:, and so important data can survive
nuking boot partition.
It's good PR to give driver collection disks to customers and you can
use same disks on the bench. If only we had burners when I was doing
builds years ago...
For slipstreaming, unattend setup, oem driver includes, bloatware
removing I've recently found "nLite":

IMHO *all* PCs should come with physical recovery media. And by that I
mean an XP disk and a driver/apps disk.
I assume the Microsoft Windows XP Home OEM CD, the Asus Motherboard CD
and the video card CD that I furnish with the computers I build meet
your outlined requirements.
