Depends on where you live to start with, but go here and at top fo forum you will find a couple threads with links.
http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=5

You will also now find this post there as I'm going to move it. If your in the US this is the site I recommend, I'll shop around for prices etc and always end up back there everytime.
www.Newegg.com

If you have any specific questions as to which DVD, Mobo etc.. just ask away in the this thread later

If i was you i would buy a new Harddrive because if you plan on using XP it will take up a least a quarter of the space on that drive on it's own. And also that graphics card is quite old and there might not be any xp drivers for it.
