Do what I did, I took my old 600Mhz HP, yanked out the HD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, floppy, and bought a barebones kit for $200. Came with the case, MOBO, XP 2500+, power supply, and 512K DDR 333. Here's my current setup:
ASUS M7NCD MOBO - Nvidia Nforce 2 400 chipset
AMD XP 2500+
Ultra 512 DDR 333Mhz (512 more on the way)
30GB 7200 RPM HD (200 GB drive on the way too)
Dual CD-ROM R/W
onboard AC 97 audio
ASUS 128MB ATI Raedon 9200
18" monitor (don't care for flat screens they cost too much for too little screen)
400W power supply
standard mouse & keyboard
Windows XP SP2
Office XP
Winamp 5.05 for my internet radio listening pleasure
Got the barebones kit from tigerdirect. Have fun!
