That's really about it. So, as you can see, it's not a top of the line superbox, but it's not a totally obsolete piece of junk either. A modest machine, you could probably build it for $400 or so.
I hate you.

Or, more precisely, I hate the fact that my Athlon 1300 (on an Asus A7V133, with 256MB RAM and a GeForce2 GTS 32MB) that I was so proud of two years ago is now below those "decent little box" and "modest machine" specs you mentioned.

Moore's Law sucks. Screw Moore and the CPU he rode in on.

-- my box still runs Visual Pinball at full speed, so screw it.
