Folding @ home.

They may look old, I have an idea. Make one mega high spec with upgrades and say your old tatty PC can you beat your mates new Laptop. Get his money and shazzam! :)
I like the way you think :D. I'm looking for more of a thing to benifit me but good replyQuote:

I put linux on one of them, and it's fairly slow :[. now and again you'll get pixels out of place like white patches when you move too fast. They were fairly decent computers at the time, used in my father's workplace.
Install Linux onto one, install Linux Firewall then hook it up to a modem or router then you have an awesome firewall :)
Thats how you do it :P I couldn't be bothered to search ;)Quote:

Folding, Firewall, Webserver, Gameserver..
The possibilities are endless!
I had an old AMD Duron 866mhz laying around... got bored one night so striped it completly down and now it lays in bits here, there and everywhere!
Great to practice on striping and rebuilding computers.
