    Factory restore iMac without CDs

    Hello everyone, I got a used beat up iMac from my brother without CDs, keyboard or mouse, I got a logitech desktop for it and it seems to be working fine, it was running snowleopard and windows 7 (on bootcamp) smoothly but I upgraded the win7 to win8 developer preview, which somehow damaged the Mac os, now I would like to recover the whole thing back to Factory default, a clean slate sort off, but apparently I need the CDs for that, isn't there any way I can factory restore or install a new mac os on it without its original CDs? Like downloading an iso, burning and booting from it??? I have no ideas, please help :(

    You can get all OS' from the web. Some you'll have to pay for but most you'll get free. Do the search.
    Nor white, nor black. Just the passionate shades between...
