Is the box Intel or AMD based? DVD burner (at least 8X) is nice but only a $25-30 upgrade.  What sized hard drive comes with it? SATA or ATA?

If you cannot flash from within Windows (and I don't think your motherboard supports this) then you must either buy a external floppy drive (USB), or a flash drive, or install an internal floppy drive, or flash off a bootable DVD/CD.  I recommend any of the three previous, but if you won't shell out any money for it, here is a bootable CD ...
