Grow some plants in it.

[Soul]

Spray paint it gold and glue it to your ceiling!

[mdipi]

[Soul]

Hey you stole my idea!!

[andr.in]

Hang it up to your ceiling, glue your boss's photo on it and get some boxing gloves! ;) The rest is obvious

[fester8542]

Have a dog?

That would make a sweet chew-toy

[andr.in]

I know! Save it and then in the year 2050 it's an antique!

I'd turn it into a server... That's what I'm doing with one of my older spare machines... :)

my friend and i had an old VCR, and it just broke one day, so we took a sledge hammer to it. it was alot like Office Space. I know your talking about a computer, but its the same idea. toss it out a window or something, and videotape it :P

[mdipi]

to late said it. i want to do that with my old comp, BUT, it would be slow cause i am on cable not a high speed one.

[nobody]

install linux on it

[Maxtr0sity]

Donate it to an organization for a tax break. We did that with our past 4 computers, it's not bad of a tax break.

=)

[mdipi]

i stated that too lol.

[eyeinfinitude]

Use it as a cup holder or door stopper. :P

[mdipi]

a foot rest?

[NaliWarCow]

take it apart. There's no better way to learn how to build a computer than by ripping one to shreds :). Plus, some of the parts on older computers are useful since they're rare, like the big 8 1/2" floppy drives.

[sintax321]

Test server, ****o storage, Router, i bet you could make a bong out of it, door stop, birthday pinyata.......etc:beam:

[Maxtr0sity]

Try to stick parts up your nose and become the terminator.:P

=)

since you will never use it again really, i would suggest selling it (for like $25-50) to an older person who just wants to be able to get online, have email, and wordprocessing...a 333 penitum II is plenty fast enough for that (heck i was still using a 200 mhz pentium last year!)

if that doesn't work, I would suggest throwing it out the window. we threw a monitor out the window (from the fifth floor) at my dorm...it sounded like a gunshot when it exploded on the concrete. the actual computer probably wouldn't be quite as cool as a monitor (they're charged with gases or something) but it would still be entertaining.

I can't find the video, but if you've seen it, copy that counter-strike lan video.

Get a group of guys together and set up a lan. Then get one guy to film it and just act like he's filming some guy playing. Then all of a sudden, someone should stand up and yell, "HEY AKU, we got ourselves a cheater over here." Then everybody should kinda echo that as a few people run over there. Then one guy should get the monitor and one guy should get the computer and walk outside. Then just slam them on the ground and watch them shatter. The most important part though, after it's broken, someone has to pick up the power supply and say "the power supply will still work, won't it?".

[sintax321]

LOL that video is killer. But u need to make it to some lame game that would never jsutify a PC smashing.

[thoriphes]

:sigh: LAN parties....

Have this ol' box run windows and continuously run an ocean screensaver and put it behind a window or something.

[mdipi]

lol thor.

have it be an mp3 server! just dump all your mp3's onto that and you got a jukebox!

[David]

Do some testing.. Overclock it till it blows into a mass of smouldering plastic and steel.. Would be interesting to see how far you can take a 333..... that's what i'd do anyway

[Maxtr0sity]

Steal parts from it. Strip the fans and heat sinks to cool your new computer down. I did that.

=)

[somdow]

well the thing is that im nott too good or rather, im not brave enough to mess with my new comp cause thats the one i use for work, its a 2.4ghz 512 with a 60 g hd so im okay with it. i was ganna add another 256 and a nother 60g hd but if i can use atleast the hd on the old one and turn it into something useful then id be happy with that. u guys have any other good ideas.

[mdipi]

do linux, i asked a kid who is not a member, he said that too.
