With 80GB HDD's going for 50 bucks these days, you are probably right it makes sense just to buy a new one.
I can get another licensed copy of an operating system, so that's not a problem.

Ok system is ready to go, will ship it out next week.
For those needing to see things for themselves...see attached.
I put a pair of 40gig drives in it, they were imaged spares and have less than an hour of use. So you are good to go on drives. The system itself probably has about 50 hours if that. This was a demo system, showed it to several clients and I ended up building 175 of them. It's kind of funny, when I ordered the cases, I did a bulk purchase. They came on palets, with cardboard shrink wrapped around the whole stack, no indivirual boxes. I got home one day and it was sitting in the driveway! I was worng on the ram, I had pulled it at some point in the past. I scrounged up a 256 meg stick of ddr 333 to get you going. Memory is like beer around here. If it isn't being used by someone, it walks off. You can pick up a pair of 512 ddr 400's for less than 70 bucks. You'll need a CD reader (writer would be nice, then you could ghost it to cd's. And a floppy reader. For what they cost, perhaps some Empire will spring for new ones and write it off to foreign aid.
