Can anyone recommend parts to put together a machine that will play:
Doom
Wolfenstein 3d
TES: Arena and Daggerfall
Quake
Unreal Tournament
Diablo
Warcraft 1 and 2
Tie Fighter
Duke Nukem 3D
Also, this probably sounds silly, but since the machine would be running windows 98', there would be no reason for dosbox, correct?
Thank you in advance.

um, no, some of these are dos run, and thus require dosbox (like wing commander), since windows kind of kicked dos to the curb, and dosbox produces an ace of a time just getting the audio to work on newer machines.
You may be able to download 98 and have it as a bootable option. That's what I had, along with xp, but killed the partitions when I got 7. As for the build, probably whatever's at goodwill or whatnot... lol

Good luck, and retro rox!!!

oh, and 98 does not require dosbox as (was it xp???) dos wasn't kicked till later.
