I really like and appreciate retro builds, but this one, IN MY OPINION, is really one of the worst ever made (it looks REALLY great, but the "heart" of it is really terrible).
Socket A had really bad support, but at least he could have went with Barton (Athlon) 3000+, offering slighly better performance. Windows 2000? Why not XP, since it was widely more accepted and supported.
Using FX 5300 for GPU, one of the most failure GPU-s is just a big no-no, he could have find the ATI RADEON 9800 XT with the same price.
The problem is not that this PC is old (i gave my friend an Athlon X2 6000+ with HD6670, he uses it as main PC, playing BF3 now at 24+ FPS at "ultra"), but that the components are nowhere near honorable or usable. It's like buying in 2040 a Ryzen 1500 with a GT 1030 on Windows 8 for retro build... what's the point of it, when neither of them had been honorable/used/praised/gamechanger. Availability? Hell nah.
just my 2 cents

He, he. What a nice beat up looking reto machine and a good fun exercise in winning a prize from the Guru3D.
There is a lesson in there. Im off down to the tip to rescue a W95 machine. I have some paint in the garage.
