Basically, my boss gave away a bunch of old systems today. Most of it was Pentium II era, with the exception of the Celeron 2.2GHz that I turned into a Print Server for him. However, I did find one MicroATX motherboard / case sporting a 1.2GHz Celeron (socket 370). Right now it has 256MB RAM, and nothing else. I also have a 933MHz Pentium III that I can throw in it if it performs better.

Basically, I'm looking for ideas for it. I really have no use for it - I don't need network attached storage, a print server, a file server, a media center, or anything of that sort - I just want to play around with it; perhaps overclock it to the max, if the motherboard supports overclocking (I'm crossing my fingers).

So, in short, what kind of projects would you aim for? This is strictly for fun, and I'm willing to throw a little cash into it if needed, but probably not more than $20 or so.

you could do what i'm doing with my old sff... building it into a custom case with small lcd and speakers, turning it into a self contained little jukebox strictly for music / music video files. think it'll be a neat little nightstand stereo
