Anybody Have Extra Computer Parts?

[lordsmurf]

I want to build a "new" system for my father. At the moment, I have a P4 1.8Ghz 400FSB CPU and a 512MB stick of SDRAM/133.

.... also have the "small things" of course: LAN card, hard drive, DVD-ROM, zip drive, floppy, monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers.

What I need is a motherboard that takes the CPU and RAM I've got. And then either integrated graphics/audio, or separate cards. Has anybody got anything laying around they'd be willing to sell cheaply, maybe trade in exchange for some of my DVD sets?

I just don't trust eBay for this, and they always want to gouge you for shipping. Not really wanting to spent much money on it anyway, he only uses the computer for Excel, Word, Turbo Tax, Firefox and Outlook. His old P3 is a bit quirky and unstable, and then newer firewalls/anti-virus/spyware tools are starting to require XP, which he cannot run on the box he has now.
