Just buy a refurb'd XP machine like this one for $104.45 shipping included.

That particular one is the bottom of the price line. Need a smaller
box? This one is smaller and faster and still has 2 empty PCI slots.

Computer Geeks has other refurb'd XP machines going up to as high as
$275 (including LCD monitors)
