Put FreeNAS or nLited Windows XP/2000 on it and use it as a NAS box.
Use it as a media server.
Use it as a test rig.
Donate it.

1132208 2010-08-27 11:02:00 Why not have a go decapping it then get ahold of a microscope? Some cool stuff to see. ubergeek85 (131)
1132209 2010-08-27 11:06:00 icow is after a motherboard and heatsink, so one would assume its a CPU he has.

Also got a couple of small boxes of P4 heatsinks, some with good fans, others sound like a jumbo jet.

Got plenty of dead boards laying about, and one that has a mind of its own :illogical

Might be time for a tidy up this weekend --------- Narrrrrr not gonna happen :lol: Maybe :confused:

1132210 2010-08-27 11:08:00 Sorry, I'm going a bit hardcore nerd-style. By decapping, I mean removing the casing around the silicon of the CPU. I find raw silicon somewhat fascinating, for some reason... ubergeek85 (131)
