I just tossed a few parts together and bought the rest off ebay to assemble myself a server, once they come this will be what I've got...
Gateway GP6-450
Intel Pentium II 450mhz Slot 1 processor
768mb PC100 ram
NVIDIA GeForce2 MX400 64mb PCI gfx card
CDRW Drive
Zip100 drive
And the following HDs
Seagate 80gb 7200rpm
Western Digital 60gb 5400rpm (with Windows XP Home on it)
Seagate 20gb 5400rpm
Quantum Fireball 20gb 5400rpm
Possibly the following:
Dell 6.4gb
WD 4.3gb
Unfortunately there's just a 200w Power Supply Unit, which probably isn't enough, and it's not the standard size so I can't upgrade it....I'm thinking about using another case I have or drilling holes to fit a standard sized one....
I'll simply network it to my main build with a cat5 cable

You know what, you're right, I just bought this one with a 430w Power Supply Unit:
Newegg.com - Linkworld 3230-02C2222U Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply - Computer Cases

Actually now I'll be using this board, that way I don't have to remove the gateway Motherboard
Abit AB-BH6

Everything else is the same

Cool! This one was in a computer I got for $30 on ebay
I wouldn't have even bought it except shipping was only $1
At that point I practically had to buy it!
The case was broken and the Power Supply Unit (230w) was dead but that wasn't what I cared about anyway, what I cared about was the Motherboard (above), processor (Celeron Slot 1 400mhz) and ram
