You're probably better looking on Craigslist or something similar. Also instead of a Pentium 4, you might be better off with an AMD CPU from that era, as they were faster despite running at slower clock rates. For Windows 98 you're looking for is a computer with a single core CPU (any extra cores will be ignored), an AGP port and no more than 1G of RAM (and more than 512M requires workarounds). I don't think there were many AGP cards released that don't have Windows 98 drivers, and I don't think there are any PCI-Express cards that supported it. You don't want a hard drive bigger than 120G, though it shouldn't matter if your motherboard uses IDE or SATA, as the later can always be used in IDE compatible mode.
