Could you load this with a full copy of XP instead of Windows Vista ?

For sale is an XPS 420 desktop. Machine initially would not POST, but after removing the video card it booted up normally. I swapped in an ATI x300 video card for the time being(machine has no onboard video) and it's running fine with it, although at a graphics performance loss. Will include the original graphics card if desired.
Machine runs cool and is stable - has been on 5+ days straight with no issues. *** Machine runs fine in it's current configuration, but an upgraded PSU & Video Card is recommended for gaming. ***
Case looks almost perfect - no imperfections that I can tell, but case is very dusty. Pictures do not do it justice.
Machine had it's PSU replaced with a unit from another Dell. It doesn't fit the case, but is functioning fine.
System specs...
Intel Q6600 CPU (2.4 ghz Quad Core)
4 GB DDR2 RAM
250 GB SATA HDD
ATI X300 video card
Card Reader
Mini-LCD on Front Panel
TV Tuner
Windows Vista Home Premium
I'm asking $225 plus shipping which I feel is a very fair price. The cases for these machines can sometimes go for $125-$150 by themselves on ebay. The entire machine routinely goes for $300-$450 on ebay.
Machine came with Vista Home Premium, which I will install for the purchaser, unless notified otherwise.

Sorry for the late reply...
I would be happy to load XP, but I can't guarantee finding all the XP drivers since it was made for Vista. However, I don't think will be an issue.
