Old PC, what do?

[The_Stig]

So, I recently got a HP Pavillion a1200y in full working condition from a friend of mine. It has 256mb of DDR2 RAM, a Intel Celeron D 341 processor, and a 40gb hard drive. What should I do with it? 

[Joegeddon]

Doorstop is a good option.

[Aereldor]

In the words of some exceptionally wise LTT forumgoer-

'Torrent Machine'.

[Brennan Price]

Upgrade it a small bit and maybe take it to LAN parties as a server for them all.

[Sithhy]

NAS maybe?

[Lolucoca]

F@H?

Its too ugly for a doorstop, I have iPhones for that

[MilkJugg24]

I'd use it as a footstool.

Low-spec media center maybe?

Use it as a bench

Give it to someone who plays on a next-gen console. Load up gta 5. They won't be able to tell the difference

[TheRandomness]

Folding?

F@H?

Too low specced... I think

Anything does help

[Ivam50]

Um...you can actually....well I don't know, extract the valuable metals from it

That's exactly what my old PC is doing...

Router? Webserver? NAS?

Plenty of options.

[alienseatsk8rs]

upgrade some of it? donate to a school?

[boarder2k7]

You can always recycle it. Maybe make a clock out of the HDD.
