Will be testing different parts, but let's start with Duron 1.2GHz, 2GB DDR & Radeon 9700 Pro. I probably end up with XP2700+ & X800 Pro, but let's have some fun first with something 2002ish
I just hate those old VIA chipsets since they just don't like anything else than SATA 1.5Gbit HDDs, luckily those first SATA 3Gbit drives can be ran at 1.5Gbit/s mode. I've had the same problem before so it was pretty easy troubleshooting.

Flashing BIOS was also a journey itself, I tried burning few bootable CDs with no luck, but using another HDD with a FAT32 partition, I put the BIOS file and flasher there and booted using FreeDOS from USB drive.
