I have two pentium 4`s without any mobo in my dresser I found and I am wondering what I should do with them? Sell? Build? Fold? Pfsense? Server?

Sell? no

Build? only if you build a real classic pc :P

Fold? no

Pfsense? no

Server? no

 

So what do I do?

Pit them in a devilish 1v1 combat situation, similar to the Hunger Games, and then the winner gets to replace your current CPU, while the loser has the shame of being used in Mac.

You can make a file server or pfsense router or even fold, I fold with a P4 :P
