I'd donate it to a school or something as well, or do what I used to do. Horde it because you might just need a part out of it, untill its so old, that its only good for tossing off a building!!

Hey! thats another idea

Use it as an MP3 server in your house. I have a dedicated PC just for playing music. The sound card lines into the stereo and the video card goes to the TV.
