What could I do with a very old pc?

I have this one pc at home that is just sitting around and collecting dust. I really want to put it to work, but have no idea what to use it for.

The pc is as follows:
200mhz Pentium 1
128MB ram
Diamond Stealth S540 PCI
80 Gig hard drive
Wireless network Adapter

The only thing I could think of was some sort of server. I could really use some suggestions.
 
lol, i couldnt resist.

check out some linux distros. a lot of them run on next to nothing includding damn small linux.
 
I like the idea of a firewall. Would the computer be fast enough to act as one? Or would it bog down the network seeing as four other computers would be going through it?

If configured probably linux on that machine as a router/firewall would out-perform whatever brand router youre currently using.
