[nick1985]

celeron 266
192 RAM
yadda yadda yadda...


im already running SETI on it, but is there anything else i can do with it? im trying to think of some more neat things to do with an old POS

you a do it yourselfer? you can mod it's case Some of the craziest mods have crappy computers inside of em - that's probally what i would do.

maybe file store, etc : but otherwise running seti sounds about it

<-- not very creative.

Donate it to the troops. See this link. It is where I'm sending my old Gateway.

Bah. Overclock it DUH! Do some Aston shell shttz. And yeah, case modding is the way to go .

You can

1. Donate it
2. Gift it to someone you know personally
3. Serve things on it for your home network
4. Use as a linux firewall
5. Mod it to the extreme

Whatever you do, don't throw it out.

Edit:

6. Run folding@home instead (i rather support medical research than hunt for aliens)

Wait. I forgot to mention:
Run Debian Linux on it (any console-based linux) - you'll learn a lot this way. Set up a server or something with APACHE .
