Motherboard Suggestion?

Hi!
Great forum!
My IT guy gave me an old Server. We think that the motherboard is bad. It is an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe. It is a socket 478 (old) has 1gb of DDR 400 Ram, don't know what the CPU is, but the manual says it is set up for Intel P4/ Celeron. It has 2 - 200gb SATA hard drives in it. If I want to get this thing up and running, what motherboard do you suggest? I would like to reuse the RAM if possible and maybe even the CPU. (am on a limited budget). It is a nice (big) ANTEC case.
I would like to use it as a second desktop, but set it up to run on my SAMSUNG DLP TV (50") that accepts a VGA connection. I would like to run Call of Duty 2 and some games and let the kids surf the web on it. I guess if going from scratch, I would need, MB, CPU, Cooling fan, RAM and graphics card.
On Newegg, I found a Biostar Combo)(See Link)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138100 that is inexpensive and may work. I could then pick up some ram for it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Scott
