Speculative Mid-'99/Early-2000 Xbox Alpha 0 Build
AMD Athlon 550MHz
TNT2U/GeForce 256 SDR evb/256DDR (GF2MX400 stand-in)
AMD 750 based MB
128MB PC100
15GB hard drive
Diamond Monster Sound MX400
Windows NT 5.0.2072/RTM 2K
InterAct HammerHead FX (Sabrent made a good analog to this)
I kind of want to put this together with the spare Athlon 550 I have.

This is obviously incorrect, but it's a general approximation of what you might have found in early Xbox development hardware of the time, official or not. I think they would want prototype GeForce 256es because they fully support DX7, but for early testing a TNT2 Ultra would work in a pinch, or maybe a Matrox G400.
