Spare computer

[StimpE]

My uncle is giving me a computer at the end of the month, I think its a 2.4ghz celeron HP but that's all I remember.

I was jus wanting peoples suggestions on what I could use it for on a home network...I don't need a storage server, or anything like that.

I was thinking of setting it up as a gaming server.

thanks.

It's not really that bad of a computer. If it was me I would probably just give it to a relative. It would work good for browsing the web etc.

That's the thing, my athlon64 pc (im on now) does almost everything i need, so i dont know what im going to do with the 2.4ghz one :/

too much hassle selling it. ppl wont pay much for a celeron anyways. just keep it.

run a webserver for the heck of it, if u are even a bit interested.

put linux on it...to learn, its fun.

sell it locally to ur friends or someone...

An HTPC perhaps?

use it as an extreme overclocking project! se if you can get it up to 5ghz!!!

Well you said you don't need a file server but redundancy on file servers is always good so if you already have one you could use it as back-up "in case $hit."

Actually the linux idea is good. Especially if you hate dual booting like me.
