What to do with an old old PC

[double-t]

I've got a Pentium-2 350 from about a hundred years ago and a couple of 80 gb hard drives sitting around. Not really sure what to do with them. The PC's got XP on it, and it runs.

Is it powerful enough to put next to my TV, and run converted Divx or Xvid videos from? I don't have an extra display to hook up to it, so putting it in the kitchen or something wouldn't really work without buying an extra dislplay.

Appreciate any ideas.

Thanks.
