Yes. You have a couple options:

1. Purchase a barebones kit. Some barebones kits will only contain the case, motherboard, and power supply. Others may include a hard drive, RAM, CPU, and optical drive (everything you need).

2. Dell sells PCs bundled with FreeDOS (but not installed) at a lower cost than one with Windows.
