What should I do with my old 1800xp+

[pood]

I've got a old HTPC that I'm not using anymore because I upgraded.

What could I do with this.

I was thinking of building a Linux box, but what's there to do?

Dedicated firewall?

i'm gonna donate it to my parents lol, not much of an upgrade, but still better than their ancient 1600xp+

its not a 1900xp+, gonna put in another 512 mb of ram, so 1 gig of ram. hopefully it'll run win 7.

Agreed. An Athlon XP with 1GB of ram and XP works great.
