You can have a roll of your own labels printed up by a local print shop.
They can come in a roll as small as 100 labels.  If this is just for one
computer you built for yourself, I have seen other options:

1) Create a small logo that you like with a graphics program.  Print it onto
    a simple adhesive label, (the Avery type).  Cut it to fit and stick it on.
2) Intel CPUs come with a small, metallic adhesive decal that sticks right
    into this spot.   I use this method for systems I build.
3) Large office supply stores have a myriad of small adhesive ornamental
    decals you can buy.   Typically, these do not have anything to do with
    computing, at least I have never seen one that does.

I hope this helps.

Along the lines of customizing a system, we have a great little application
on The NOSPIN Group file download page:  OEM INFO v3
This application allows you to quickly and easily add your own graphical
logo to Win95/98 My Computer/properties area.  It also allows you to name
the computer, the model of the computer and add the Support Information
button for pertinent information.
