Here's the guts of the thing:

Pentium 133
48MB RAM
2GB hard drive
8x CD-ROM
STB Lightspeed 128 (ET6000 based) video
Dual voodoo2 (SLI) cards (best thing on this thing actually)
USR 33.6K modem
Ensoniq Soundscape card

I just reloaded Windoze 98 on the machine to see if it still works (and it does). It's an old Gateway machine that my sister used for college but she has a nice new machine and didn't want this one anymore.
You will be limited to an 8.4 GB drive, at most (due to BIOS limitations), unless you can pick up a used PCI IDE controller somewhere. Considering the age of the machine, the $30 cost for a new one is prohibitive. You can probably find some used RAM somewhere, like a computer trade show in your area. If you are installing to a HD, you will be able to get by with another 48 MB of RAM for a total of 96 MB (more would be better, of course).
