What exactly do you search for? I've tried looking but I have no idea what to search for.

A quick poke over at https://the-eye.eu/public/MSDN/ suggests the following (there may be more checked builds hiding in the sea of Latin filenames :P):

https://the-eye.eu/public/MSDN/Windows%207/

- en_windows_7_debug_checked_build_dvd_x64_398741.iso

- en_windows_7_debug_checked_build_dvd_x86_398742.iso

https://the-eye.eu/public/MSDN/Windows%20XP/

- en_windows_xp_professional_x64_chk.iso

Thanks.

EDIT: if you want to get the actual build, I can't help. I only remember it being available through MSDN AA back in the day.

If you are a current Visual Studio subscriber with access to Windows downloads, chk builds are available on https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads/Featured like regular builds. Search for "checked".

I don't recommend chk builds for routine use by anyone outside the Windows teams because even if the regular Windows release still receives updates, the chk build typically doesn't. CDN disk space isn't cheap, and neither is CPU time on the build or test machines.
