    Hiding your porn mags and dosh in the case? tbh I can't think of anything you can use a computer for apart from what you mentioned above. You could use it as a backup computer. Or you could use your other computer for gaming or flash or photoshop only. And use the P4 for work and other stuff, so you don't clog up and slow down the game computer?

    Yeah I was thinking about this when I had your same situation.

    You could use your computer for hmm let's see:

    • Use it as a backup computer, putting vital information in a safe place
    • Media Center, keeping all music on it or videos or media you want to keep, could include some valuable pr0n :rock:
    • Possibly make this your production workstation or something for photoshop stuff...so over time THIS comp would slow and not affect your main faster comp
    • Use this as a server for ANYTHING
    • Use this comp as a firewall or router I can't remember what the program is. Smoothwall or something?

    Anyway what's all I can think of for now :)

    You could sell it and get a little extra cash.

    Yeah, old PCs are good to practice painting/cutting etc before you do it on a brand new case.

    Or you could give it to me, as I am stuck using cheap old boxes like Pentium 2 400 Mhzs for workstations and file servers ;)

    Well i wouldnt use it as a voice server ott for that, you could use it for a games server but you might not get meany ppl in.

    Do you really need to use it, just keep it for emergency purposes. No real point is usig it if you dont have much of a need for it to be up, just sitting there sucking up the elecy
