I just built another XP machine.

Specs:

Case: JNC RJA-FQ-70
PSU: Deer DR-A300ATX 300W - modified and recapped
MB: ASUS K8N4-E
CPU: AMD Sempron 2800+ Skt754
HSF: AMD stock
GPU: nVidia Geforce 7300LE 256MB PCI-E
ODD: HL-DT-ST GSA-4167B DVD-RW
RAM:1GB DDR400
Misc: Pixelview PV-TV304P+ PCI TV Tuner
OS: Windows XP SP3

Might get around and build a 2000 SP4 machine as well, since it seems the GA-7DXE motherboard I got works fine now.

I usually cherry pick the ones with beefy parts. For instance I do have one that looks really good and which just needs some finishing touches, but I guess I could post some pics of both if you want me to.
