This is totally off-topic, but here goes...

There are a number of on-line "build it yourself" stores, where you pick from a menu of parts, and usually "no operating system" is one of the choices. They will assemble it for you (maybe $25-$50) and ship, you have to be familiar or willing to learn about motherboards, CPU cooling fans, video cards, disk controllers, and much more to do this comfortably.

Try searching for "bare bones PC" on the web, this will get you a bunch of other links of a similar nature.
