It's good that you consider yourself a Pro, but, while you have some good
ideas, most of it's not needed and is only a waste of time. If the OP
doesn't already have Ghost he's not much of a tech to begin with, and the
clients doesn't need Ghost for such a action.

If the machine is properly secured and has quality AV software installed
along with a secured browser and email client then you don't need to ghost
the machine or buy a new drive.

What you should have done was explain how to secure the machine, how to
set IE for secure mode, to use alternative browsers and email clients to
get a router with NAT instead of the personal firewall (of which McAfee is
one of the worst AV/FW suites out there)....

Your solution has limited ability to protect the users.
