What should I do with my old PC after I get my new one?

[Ryan]

I have to idea what to do with my old computer after I get my new one from gateway. Here's what my old computer is:

PII-266
64mb ram (simms)
2 x 6gb HD's
4mb S3 Virge GX
Win2K

Any ideas?

i would buy it or u could use it for a server or firewall if u have DSL or Cable

hmm...the endless possibilities, give it to a poorer relative, give it to me, make jewlery out of the parts, use at as an old gaming system (that's what i did with my old one -- old games can be pretty fun sometimes ), sell the parts to upgrade your new one, you'll probably want more reliable parts if your ordering from gateway, etc. etc.

Well, I decided that I'm gonna keep it. The firewall idea sounds good, since I have a cable modem.

Sell it or use it as a server if you think that could be useful to you.

I have an old P200mmx here.
Since I can't get much $$$ for it, I have decided to setup a linux box to learn linux.

use it as a DirectConnect Server/and or Client... the best peer-to-peer program to date!!! There are some massive mp3 collections out there... an NO LIMITS!!!! www.neo-modus.com check it out!

Based on a local newspaper column I stopped by the local church and they gladly accepted my old old at clone. They even took the old software docs and such. They said it was perfect for he kids.

Donate it to me so I can get rid of this POS I have at work. Take pity on the poor sole stuck with a P166 that can barely surf and play MP3s at the same time.
