What should I do with this old computer I found by my dumpster?
PII 300MHZ
NO HDD (Have a 6.4 GB Laying around)
No Ram (Stole 128MB from aunts comp)
CD-ROM
AGP Slot with a PCI Video card
No Sound
No Modem No Nic
The mb posts and works fine so what should I do with it?
 
Can always put a pair of NICs in it, and install a linux based firewall on it.
 
Linux firewall is a good idea.
Load it with hard drives and use it as a file server.
Google search "folding@home" and join the [H]orde. Team 33.

I just recieved an old emachine with a modem and no NIC. I got an ISA NIC from ebay for $11. It will be folding soon.
 
Stick a chain through the cpu and wear it around your neck.

Poke a hole on both ends of the ram, stick a string through those and wear them as a bracelet.

Put an hd or two in your pockets to weigh your pants down so the wasteline hangs low, nearly to the extent of falling off completely (for [h]ardcore p.i.m.p.s only)

If youre feeling savy, you can use the gpu as an earring.

I've got an ISA NIC at home. It mostly just sits around doing nothing. I do come across the occasional older system with no free PCI slots but a free ISA slot and this NIC comes in handy in those situations.

 
Run IPCop. Fold with it. I have a P166 Lappy with 256 of Ram that I fold with using Debian and Windowmaker.
 
Put a small linux distro on it and give it to a family member that needs a websurfing, wordprocessing machine or as a backup to your own should it go down.... My mother has a similar computer setup to that running nix for that purpose.. Perfect for the little that she does with it..
 
donate it to someone who doesn't have any computer or throw it in the trash.

ROFLMAO!!! Thats a good one! lol. I currently have a PI Keychain :cool: . I suggest a server/firewall . Thats about all it can probably take. Either that or you can try some [H]ardcore overclocking, if possible :p
