I had enough spare parts around to build a pretty decent second rig with. But I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?

Here are specs:
Pentium D 3.4GHz
4Gb DDR2 800MHz
nVidia 8800GT
Onboard sound
36Gb Raptor hard drive
CD burner
On a Asus P5LD2-VM mobo with a 400w PSU and 20" Apple Cinema Display
 
Do you have a kid?

:D

If not you can always part it out and sell the pieces to justify the expense of your new rig. Or if you want to setup a file server that is always an option and throw like a 640 gig WD.
