It would be best to replace the case with one that has a quality 300 watt power supply to be compatible with today's fast (and power hungry) processors. The Enlight 7237 is a very good reasonably priced case. Figure on getting all new DDR ram, standard PC100 sdram is too slow for today's processors. The Rage 128 is not capable of running today's games well, you should look at getting an ATI Radeon or Nvidia GeForce-based card. I'm an Intel guy and am not a gamer, so I will leave specific motherboard and video card recommendations to others. You might also plan on getting a new 7200 rpm hard drive unless you already have a decent sized and fast drive to reuse.
