Ive been landed with some old PCs, but as we are fully PC occupied here, Ive been wondering what I could do with them. They are 4-6yrs old, running either Win98 or XP, with just the minimum RAM & Video cards as were when sold.

Ive cleaned them up, but dont really know what to do with them. I should mention, they are just the PC boxes, no screens, keyboards, printers or mice.

710263 2008-10-07 07:38:00 Pity you weren't closer as the wifes PC is around 7 years old, and I could do with replacing it with a quicker machine Morgenmuffel (187)
