About how much would it cost to build a decent XP machine?

There is a local computer shop near me that's essentially like a Pick N' Pull for computer parts, and I noticed they sell sealed windows XP discs for only $5 and got tempted by the idea.

You would have to use old, likely used parts so you could do it quite cheaply. Then you could never really connect it to the internet safely.

You can just use a VM to run XP on a new machine. That's the easiest thing to do unless you just like having old hardware sitting around. You still need the license though.
