Also, unless I'm mistaken (which I very well may be), your recovery disk for Win2K should work for a new build until you can scratch up the green stamps for Win 7.
Another important point: Cannibalize as much of your old set-up as is feasible. I was unable as I'd pretty much promised my Dad my old box when my new one got built and he'd promised HIS old box to my sister. And I wound up spending a good chunk of change more than I'd intended on my case.
