Old Desktop: Repurpose For New Use (Server, HTPC, etc) ?

Hey Guys,

Interesting question for those in this forum, I have an old desktop that I built that was recently replaced. For the past few months it has just been sitting around not getting much use since I got a newer machine. So my question, what should I do with it? =)

I've thought possibly home theater PC (HTPC), a server, or even something like FreeNAS:
FreeNAS 8 | Storage For Open Source


Anyway, just wanted to throw the question out there and see what other ideas people had! =)


Thanks,
