From what I could find, It's an old computer with expensive memory.

The RDRAM ram this model uses was overpriced, heated up more and had higher latency compared to SDRAM. It will be difficult to nearly impossible to find this kind of ram as it never caught on and as soon as DDR ram came out, no one used it anymore.

As for the hard drive, I believe you could use any IDE drive. Double check that though.

As for buying the parts for it to get it up and running, you would save more money buying a $200 modern computer that would outperform it by multitudes... unless of course you are doing this for the sake of just getting an old computer up and running for fun. I suppose you might be able to find something on ebay, but I have never used ebay so I wouldn't know much about that.
