You won't be able to do much with it unless you get an operating system on it. Mine had a CD burner with it.
Your options are that you can get a CD drive from eBay (http://compare.ebay.com/like/270725562205?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&_lwgsi=y) or install an OS on the hard disk.
If you like you can use a bootable Linux CD via the CD drive or via a USB stick (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/). Bootbable Linux CD's are available everywhere (http://www.livecdlist.com/).
Bootable Windows CD's can be made but they are technically illegal copies of Windows.
Those are about your only options.
