What should I do with this computer?

[iHardware Shelden]

I don't know if I am posting this in the correct part of the forums but anyways here it is.

So I have a Dell Dimension XPS Gen 5 system and have no idea what the hell to do with it. It is a big sexy system but I don't want to use it so I can keep it in good condition down the road. This system seems to be the one that catches everyone eyes when I have a friend or family member over so I might as well show it off. Or should I put it in long-term storage?

 

I have absolutely no idea what to do with it and having it sitting on the floor tucked away just seems to bug me haha.

 

Here is a pic of the system, it is a full tower case and has a type of "sandblast" finish to it.

Mod it and drop new parts and a sick system in it

You could mod a new build into it, or just keep the interesting front piece.

I would use it in a build if i was you.

Just leave it be. that's one of the better looking cases I've seen from dell, and in 5-10 years that'll be a cool collectable, especially if it still works!

I think that is what I will do, I guess I will throw it into long-term storage and call it a day

If the system was in non working order I would be all over doing something like this, I will take a look at it later but if I did want to put a new motherboard and other parts in it I might have to do some psychical case mods (which I would like to stay away from). They are just to many things that would be required to mod it but I do have a friend who has the older Gen 2 blue model that he wants to sell so if I get some money I might buy that and mod it to death Also these systems don't use ATX power supplys, the bottom section is the entire power supply but modding that would not be that hard.
