Hi guys

i just got given a brand spanking new used HP Compaq DC7800 Ultra-slim desktop that ran in a university for i have no idea how long.

its got an Intel Core 2 DUO E6550 CPU with 2 x 1gb sicks of DDR2 SODIMM ram and it came with a 160gb HP 7200 2.5 drive.

my problem is i have no idea what i could use this for, i have a gaming PC and a home server and a tablet and an intel nuc so if anyone has any good ideas let me know.

im not apposed to upgrading the ram or cpu but for now not sure what to use it for.

thanks for your ideas.
