I agree that it's very hard to justify spending money on obsolete 
hardware.  I must have subconsciously assumed the OP had a spare Gigabit 
NIC (I have a couple in my spare parts inventory).


Without a free NIC, I'd probably: back up the old box (burn to optical, 
use external drive, whatever), build the new box, move the old HDD into 
the new box, and proceed from there.


HTH,
