Imaginative uses for old PCs

[ceewi1]

This might be better off in the 'Off Topic' forum, so feel free to move it.

Post some imaginative uses for old PCs. I'll start with one from a friend of mine:
"If we collect all the outdated PCs (in the Uni), melt down all the gold plated connectors and collect the gold - we might have enough for a slab of beer"

the topic said imaginative uses, like thigns out of the ordinary, not web server and MP3 server, thats normal.....

how about..... hmmm...... how about getting an old PC witha window, (or mod a window into it) and seal it up, water tight, then make it a fish tank, just dont leave any fans in there that are powered, that would be messy with the fish and all, lol
