You don't HAVE to have a domain.
A domain is just a collection of rights to resources, a machine can also control it's own resources locally so for the purpose of logging in the machine name IS the domain. Windows doesn't care as long as something authenticates the request for access. So instead of needing a domain you set the rights to a local account on the PC, and when requesting access to that resource you preceed the id with the machine name seperated by the backslash to tell the query "Hey authenticate over here."
