Early 2000s Sony Vaio - Upgrade

I got this Sony PC from an estate sale and completed all the big upgrades. The CPU, RAM, GPU, all "new" and a 64gb SSD with a clean install of Windows XP SP3. It runs much better than it has any right considering the OEM specs were total trash. I booted up Quake 3 Arena and runs smooth as silk.
It came with a period correct rolling desk, matching Sony KB/M and speakers.
The hardware specs may not be huge and the case design limits further hardware upgrades. But it has style and does all I need it to do.
