What to do with an ancient computer...
Ok, so I have an ancient (by today's standards) computer collecting dust in my room. I want to do something with it. It is an eTower 633, I've kept it around as a "backup" machine, but it really isn't even worth that any more. So the question is what to do with it?
My only idea is to wipe it, install XP, and kill every service I can while still having it "stable" it only has 256MB of RAM so this is almost mandatory. *Laughs* But then I have a bunch of emulators and roms (NES, Genesis, SNES, N64, etc.) and I was thinking of making it a dedicated emulation machine, then hooking it up to my TV via VGA. All well and good, but then I would have to look at a boring beige coloured computer all the time. So now I have to make it look good, I could go crazy and make a plex window for it, throw some LED fans and cathode lights in there. That'd be fun. What are the forums' thoughts?
