I ate the $10 NIC putting it on a shelf because return shipping +
restocking fee is almost $10. Second time around I emailed the e1000
driver list. An Intel engineer responded and verified that the
universal model of the Pro/1000 GT should work. Ordered one for $32 +
shipping, plugged it in, and it works great. So I spent $42 + shipping
times two to get a GbE NIC into this machine.
I agree that it's very hard to justify spending money on obsolete
hardware. I must have subconsciously assumed the OP had a spare Gigabit
NIC (I have a couple in my spare parts inventory).
Without a free NIC, I'd probably: back up the old box (burn to optical,
use external drive, whatever), build the new box, move the old HDD into
the new box, and proceed from there.
HTH,
