I'd get a modern ish server and underclock it, that way you'll be able 
to get more RAM and bigger hard drives, the Athlon XP was fairly easy to 
get down to 300 MHz with the FSB still @ 133, I never tried lower but I 
don't see why not, for comedy value see if you can get the CPU clocking 
lower than the RAM.
