I'm looking for ideas and a reason to hook up the second computer that I have in my closet collecting dust. It's a Pentium 4 1.5GHz, 320MB RAM, 1 - 40GB Hard Drive, 1 - 10GB Hard Drive, A nice ATI Radeon 9250 128MB video card, avermedia ultraTV PCI 350, with 10/100 network card of course, and just a 28X CD-ROM drive. The computer has NO OPERATING SYSTEM.

The primary computer I use to surf the internet, check email, and my media server to stream music, photos, and videos to my TV. It's got everything I need; 2 - 40GB hard drives, 512MB RAM, 128GB video card, 1.70GHz Processor, and nice 4 channel sound card.

I've attempted to use the tuner card before as a TIVO but I wasn't that impressed with the video quality. I'm not much of a computer gamer with an XBOX 360, PS2, and a modified Dreamcast to play my NES games. I also already have a 4 port KVM.

Looking for any ideas or suggestions to use a 2nd computer for.

More storage and plus you can have tons more running at once. Its 2 damn computers, thats double time and more. Plus look at why not lol.
 
well... you could also use it for some physical tests a Mythbusters.. :D
Like... if i throw a pc out of the 2nd floor,.. does it still work afterwards?
that is how my old P1 120 MHz actually died.. :o
( just a tip.. dont cook it and ten try to boot it up, i already tried that )
