Well, this is new hardware, apart from the gfx card. I kept some of my old PCs and Unix workstations. They all died at some time (hdd, embedded batteries, caps etc.). The only survivor so far is an OQO Model 02 with Win XP (only the battery is dead). Maybe some of them could be repaired, but it's a pain (at least for me).
This piece of hardware boots fast, does not have a hdd and the clock speed (+cache) can be changed easily in the BIOS. I would say ideal for DOS/Win9x.
Sound is very decent...
And the performance (even with non-native AGP support) seems to be good enough...
Nevertheless, it's not cheap and I'm not sure whether I really need one.
Introducing the ITX-Llama, a retro-inspired x86 motherboard designed for those passionate about late-DOS and early Windows 98 systems. This compact system delivers performance comparable to a Pentium 233, making it ideal for vintage applications. Extras include OPL3 module, MT32-Pi and preloaded...

MiSTer, VMs and DOSBox might be good enough for me.
