    Specification

    Definately file server material there.

    edit: It could also be turned into a mame machine, or rather, a general emulation machine, I'm not sure how well MAME would run though.

    Another vote for a light fileserver and/or MAME machine - it's not really much use for anything else though.

    Both those had crossed my mind, going to throw linux on it for a start. Never played with Linux so I figure its worth a shot.

    Thanks guys.

    You could make it into an HTPC, but you'd need hardware encoders otherwise it wouldn't work.
