What can a Abit BH6 do now a days?

I still have an ATX case with an Abit BH6 with the Celeron 300 ( I think ), old graphics card, and the memory sitting around. I think it is too outdated to be of any use.

General consensus? Can I make use of it or toss it?

Use it to play classic DOS video games. Or sell it to someone looking for an industrial process-control computer, they pay big bucks for older hardware used to run industrial stuff.

Hahaha, like Leisure Suit Larry? I don't even play the current video games, not sure I would play any DOS ones.

Use it to play classic DOS video games.

I just pulled an Abit BH6 from one of my cases. It has a P2-600 onboard and was working great the last time I used it (two years ago). The BH6 boards were REALLY reliable, unlike the Abit models for the next few years that had tons of capacitor problems. All of my BX6s are dead now, but that BH6 has kept chugging along for over ten years.

I have a BX6-2 laying around..wondering what i should do with it also. Kind of a shame to throw such a good board out.

Have you looked at the capacitors in your BX6-2 lately?

Here's a photo of a bulged cap on a BX6-2 motherboard:
