What can I do with an extra computer?

What can I do with an extra computer?

Leave it turned off and save some electricity.

you have a point there, my electric bill is far from low :)

Play with it. Make a really cool mod.

Not sure if its something for me... I was never that creative :)

Put a dual core in it and you'd have a pretty decent budget gaming system for your bro.

Good one dude lol. The price that i will spend on the liquid nitrogen I can probabelly build a new Core i7 Nehalem PC :)
 
i was going to suggest making it a server or a mediacenter but it seems too nice to only do that with it. It's a decent rig so I'm sure someone could make great use out of it.
 
Read up on Windows Home Server:

It's a pretty nice system, I was thinking of building one a while back but decided to just spend the money on my current rig. Automated backups, web server/remote file access, media streaming, and the system it uses for hard drives is genius.

The price is $100, but I could get you a link :) I wish I had a couple hundred dollars lying around to build one of these, they just seem so convenient.

ASUS A8N SLI-32 Deluxe?? You kidding me?

Man this is a pretty hot mobo and it will support, upto, the Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4800+ ,the Athlon 64 FX-60 Dual-Core or the AMD Opteron Dual-Core 185. This could make a great 2nd PC.
 
Oops I don't have the 32, but if memory serves me correct it is a step above the series mine is in.

Great motherboards. I have found the thing to be plenty fast for my (limited) gaming needs.
 
i would just rebuild it and give it to your little bro, for his wow needs AND school most likely, it would be perfect. Thats if you want to spend that much money on him XD
