Give it away to someone less fortunate than you?

Donate it to charity?

Use it as a doorstop?

atm i use it to rest my feet on, i should get a pillow though, its kinda hard

as for giving away, i offered it to my sis but she still doesnt believe my system is just faster (she runs PII 450....). if any friend needs it he/she can have it.

It should be more than fast enough to act as a Print Server. :)

Hey, you don't need a printer to have a print server!
Although I guess a print server without a printer is kinda useless...

You also don't need to have a website to have a webserver as Ben so elegantly demonstrates. :p

Thanks for bringing that one up Luke. Just because I haven't yet unleashed my new website which will take over the world yet, doesn't mean I'm not working on it ;)
