This is my oldest computer booting into Xubuntu 14.04. This machine is from december 2005 and I had no use for it, so I tried testing if it works with Xubuntu 14.04 64 bit, and it does! (although it's rather slow)
This is its hardware configuration:
CPU : Sempron 3100+ (1.8GHz single core!, 256KB cache memory, 64 bit support)
RAM : 2GB (2x1GB DDR400 Kingston memory modules)
Motherboard : Asrock K8-Upgrade (nforce 3 based motherboard)
GPU : ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 256MB
Hard disk : Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200 rpm
Case : I don't remember the name, it's made from alumimum, and more than 10 years old.
PSU : 460W Generic ATX.

The top of the case isn't covered, because it would block air intake from the PSU fan.
