I, for what ever reason, really want to recreate this Ultimate XP machine. It's stupid and there is no point to making one but I think it will be super fun to make. I am finding it hard to find the parts and case Austin used in the video. If anyone could be able to help me find the parts I should use that would be amazing! I did find the CPU and 4 GB of ddr3 ram but its all the other components I'm completely lost. I do not have a budget currently I do want to see all the parts laid out before I truly decide the budget.

Can you not just use used. (Go eBay)

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

"If it works, proceed to take it apart and 'make it work better.' Then cry for help when it breaks." - Me, about five minutes ago when my train of thought wandered.

Remember kids, A janky solution is still a solution.

I could but I just want the trickery of a brand new computer with old parts.

But what is the point of this? If you install Windows XP on anything internet connected you'll get infected with malware before you can do anything?
