So I have these parts just sitting in an old PC that nobody uses. They're great parts so I don't want to see them go to waste:
 

 
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  (Purchased For $0.00) 
Motherboard: ASRock H61MV-ITX Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard  ($75.99 @ Mwave Australia) 
Memory: Kingston 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory  (Purchased For $0.00) 
Memory: Kingston 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory  (Purchased For $0.00) 
Total: $75.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

I'm planning on buying the ITX mobo and an HTPC case so I can put it in a room and it won't draw attention (It's currently in a full tower with red LEDs). I also have a GT 440 lying around somewhere that I can throw in.
 
My question is: should I turn this into a virtual machine server? If so, what else would I have to buy to achieve that? If not, what are some cool uses for an HTPC?
