Fun/cool stuff to do with old Hardware?

[BAPEsta]

So I have some old hardware that isn't functional or useful anymore.. 

Any ideas of cool/fun stuff I can do with it?

What I've got lying around:

AMD Athlon XP 2100+
ASUS Geforce 6600

ASUS V8440 GEFORCE4 TI 4400
ASUS A7NBX-E

 

and some other stuff...

Wall pieces or displaying them is not something I'd like to do.

media center, could turn it into a router. 

[megadarkwood]

keychain

I have all my crap on display. 

 

Creative Audiology 2

1.5GB 4 sticks (512MB x2 333MHz, 256MB x2 400MHz) DDR RAM

A zillion IDE cables

A floppy drive reader

An old dell something or another in a bunch of parts

A 2.3GHz P4

EVGA 9800GT

and a bunch of other old stuff

Logan from Tek Syndicate just made a video on how to colour hardware. Alternatively you could OC it's tits off those parts.

The hardware is not functional. Broken, destroyed and so on.

@heineygoat:

This hardware is old. There's nothing to color. No plastic or anything.

People are making key chains from old CPU's. I think they look awesome!

If I have an old CPU laying around sometime, I will make myself a key chain

Decorate your wall.

Smash it the shit out when you are angry.

I actually bought some used pentium off of amazon for 1$ just to play with it in class. Some people play with pens, I play with CPUs... Baws B)

Dunno how you would go around playing with an old CPU, but hey, it sounds badass!

You could turn the CPU into a keychain. It'd be a bit of work, but it'd be an interesting conversation starter (just don't cut yourself with it).

I do the same with my old P4

Haha, well you know how you almost always have something in your hands while you listen in class? Well I usually spin my ol' pentium around on the desk

How does one achieve such level of badassery?

Hang it on the wall

Simple-Bring a computer part to a redneck school. I live on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC and I go to a school in the country, where people hunt and ride atv's. It makes everyone think you're a genius and you become a badass.

My vote goes for this one.

Haha I can relate! People in my area have more or less the tech knowledge of a rock. There's one guy that thinks he's sooooo tech savvy, he's always helping teachers turn on the projectors and crap. I showed him the CPU and asked him what it was, he said it was RAM.

Haha I know exactly what you mean!
