What to do with a Pentium D 925 SL9KA

So i have a working Intel Pentium D 925 SL9KA which my parents had purchased back in 2007 and ive upgraded since then. I don't know what to do with it now. Is it still any good? Any build recommendations for under 200$ without the CPU or any idea for something that needs computing power...(much powerful that a Raspberry Pi). Or anything else?!

These things are worthless these days and聽too slow to do anything, just scrap the thing.聽

Make it a keychain. It's not worth using it, low performance for lot of power consumption.

Not worth it for a file server. It would be cheaper to buy a 40-50$ motherboard with embedded cpu (soldered)... you'll spend more in electricity for that Intel cpu in 1-2 years.

I think you got the wrong idea... this is a 65nm "D0" Netburst Pentium, it definitly can do 5GHz on Air ;)
