What about the Operating Syatem Serial Number
Windows does still have serial numbers (doesn't it?)
I am looking for a unique way to identify the user accessing my web site.
I know that I can (and I am) capturing the IP address, but I wanted to take
it down to the actual PC.
Thanks,

Browsers can't access that kind of information (or they shouldn't be
able to). What you can check is the IP address, which you do and from
that the MAC address which should capture dial-up differences. In most
cases you wouldn't even get the IP from the computer itself, but from
the router that is used. If you want to go any further you'd have to
write some sort of plugin for the browser(s) that somehow collects more
info, but noone in their right mind would install anything like that
(spyware ring a bell?).
