I like 2003 as a desktop server :-) I mostly development on my machines and I use 2003 on some of them.
I have had problems on some machines with 2003. i.e. one machine didn't have drivers for all it's hardware for 2003 or some of the software didn't work in 2003. I had to get new software for DVD burning and playing.
You could always buy a new hard drive, throw 2003 on it, and see how it goes, they are cheep enough, and you could always go back to XP if you choose.
