No. Anything you can think of could be replaced. A technique that has been chosen in the past is to identify a bunch of different items (say MAC, Hard Drive IDs, and anything else visible) and allow it to be the same PC if some of those are the same. This still doesn't stop the building of a 'patchwork clone' by changing one item at a time until none of the original parts remain.
