OT: What do you do with your old PC's?

So why not hook some of 'em up.. get remote desktop going then you just need to hook a ethernet and a power cable to each one.

The problem is that 5 of them use an external power supply that hooks up to an AC outlet, and I only have 2 of them. Also, I only have two monitors, but I guess if I did have a remote desktop going that wouldn't matter. Not that I'm very familiar with remote desktop technology, because I have never used it before.

But to be honest, what for..? I can do anything I want on this computer, pretty much.

Sell it on ebay......make some money back on it I always say. Just make sure you charge the buyer for shipping and insurance.

Well I'm building a server right now with my old PC, I just sent my old 6800GT to RMA today, until then I just need to think where I'm going to put my server (codenamed: Orihime).

The bulk of the computers are Pentium 3s, which won't do very well.

And I've actually given up for folding for TF for a while now. It's not worth it, the forum doesn't deserve my precious folding points.

You would be surprised how many WU's you could whip out with 3 or 4 p3's working. Nobody said you had to fold for TF.
