lol I have the same cpu xD so here are the choices I give you : 

1: use it as a door stop (I always recommend this because why not)
2: go on any pc master race forum (here is a great example) and post a picture every 3 minutes of you bending the pins, one by one, and let every one enjoy and rage about it
3: keep the pc, and install windows XP or 3.1 on it and have fun with VisualBasic and QuickBasic old programming language


have fun !

Target Practice? (bonus points, melt down the heatsink into bullets to shoot at the PCB)

Keep as an antique? Tell your children how tough life was with slow chips

Wear around neck Flava-Flav style?

Stick the fan on ridiculous things that don't need cooling (i.e. mouse)

Complain to Intel that is won't fit in a 1150 board, like your pentium g3258 will
