Advise what to put on the subject, Pentium4, 512 RAM, ATI RAGE128?
I would like to use it as an Internet TV in the office ideally.

Yes, almost any (Debain, Ubuntu, Mint)! Only a lightweight graphical interface needs to be installed.

Any linux distribution without a graphical installer and a default DE (for example, Debian core, Arch, etc.). After installation, try to start the peripherals, and if possible, the graphics mode of the video card.

I put Xubuntu on a similar piece of iron. There is a very minimal core option. After installation, it freezes less than 400 MB of RAM.

What "almost anyone" said is close to the truth: Linux uses resources efficiently ... especially if you don't use fancy DEs and generally unnecessary graphical applications.
But there are (were) distributions specially compiled to support weak / old hardware: TinyCoreLinux , Simply Linux , SliTaz , etc., quite a lot of them were made the piece of iron is also not a young man).
