Hey guys.
This is probably a pretty silly question, but it is in no way vital, it's just out of a matter of interest more than anything.
Our old PC which we've had for about 6 years is on its way out, and so we've bought a new PC (this is the family PC, not my one) - so now our old PC is just sitting there, doing nothing other than a few final tasks we had to do to transfer settings and files and so on.
It's got a Pentium 4 2.4ghz CPU, 512MB of RAM (Kingston, I think), a GeForce 4 MX440, a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Sound Card, and no CD or DVD rom (put the old one in our new PC).
My question is, is there anything 'fun' I can do on this PC that could be either useful or just exciting? I don't want to screw it up, and I don't want to spend any money on it (perhaps we'll rake out an old CD rom for it sometime if I want to reformat), but I know some people get old systems to use as server PC's and so on, but I'm not entirely sure if there are other uses it could have. Any suggestions?
