nude - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (26 May 2007) :

  nude
  
     Said of machines delivered without an operating system
     (compare bare metal).  "We ordered 50 systems, but they all
     arrived nude, so we had to spend a an extra weekend with the
     installation tapes."  This usage is a recent innovation
     reflecting the fact that most PC clones are now delivered with
     DOS or Microsoft Windows pre-installed at the factory.  Other
     kinds of hardware are still normally delivered without OS, so
     this term is particular to PC support groups.
