I found a free computer on the side of my neighbor's street. I picked it up and brought it to my house to look at it. it was missing a psu, hard drive, floppy drive, front panel audio and usb, cpu cooler and fans. I will try to get photos as soon as i can of this computer but it seems to be built around an athlon 64 x2 3800+ (Q4 2010)(half the strength of the Q6600). Perhaps someone can tell me what i can convert it into.

Maybe a server? That processor isn't that great for anything at all in today's standards.

Uh, what?  I had that processor in mid 2006...

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I don't know when it was launched but I know I personally owned and used one in 2006, so, yeah it wasn't launched in 2010 ;)
