A long time ago I did some research on the motherboard and CPU.
Motherboard: AOpen MX4GVR
$ 81 -- AOpen MX4GVR (allstarshop.com -- No longer available)
Here is the AOpen MX4GVR Owner's Manual:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/cn7vb0
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8 Northwood Socket 478
The Intel CPU part number (Model number) is RK80532PE072512
$ 72 -- Intel Pentium 4 2.8 Northwood (NewEgg.com -- these appear to still be available)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819116215
RAM: 1GB sticks
-- 184-pin DIMM DDR SDRAM, unbuffered, non-ECC
-- EITHER PC2700 (DDR333 CL2.5) or PC3200 (DDR400 CL3)
Some representative options
CRUCIAL.com
Crucial Part Number = CT431640
$ 66.99 each -- PC2700

Crucial Part Number = CT407785
$ 66.99 each -- PC3200

Internal Hard Drive: Fujitsu MHT2040AT (40 GB)
The drive is part of the Fujitsu "MHT20 AT Series" (Discontinued)
-- Rotational Speed: 4,200 RPM
-- Capacity: 20GB, 30GB, 40GB, 60GB, 80GB (i.e. MHT20xxAT where xx=size)
-- Height: 9.5mm (Laptop)
-- ATA/100
-- Mean Time between Failure: 300,000 hours
-- Service Life: 5 years or 20,000 power on hours
Doing a search on "Fujitsu MHT20
40AT" (40 GB) or "Fujitsu MHT20
60AT" (60 GB) or "Fujitsu MHT20
80AT (80 GB) shows that there are still stores that carry these.
I assume the slower rotational speed (4200 RPM vs. 5400 or 7200) minimizes noise, heat, and wear.
