All of your skins are saved in

C:\Users\[YourName]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins
(for Windows Vista/7)

or

C:\Users\Documents and Settings\[YourName]\My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins
(for Windows 2000/XP)

Just make a copy of that folder and put it in the same location on your new PC. :)

To make extra sure everything is ok, you might also want to back up C:\Users\[Your Name]\AppData\Roaming\Rainmeter. Maybe some old skins installed addons globally instead of locally, as it is intended now.
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
