Computer will become outdated in 3 years time (or less?). There is many things to do with your old computer rather than leave it tarnish with dust.

I’ve bold the interesting part. :)

The whole system can be used like this:

1. Give it away to friends or family who can use the upgrade
2. Take it apart and see what comes out
3. Create route/firewall for your network
4. Creata a file server
5. Install and try Linux
6. Create a jukebox / media player
7. Sell it
8. Trash it / Recycle it
9. Ceremonially set it on fire
10. See what happens when you shoot it
11. Symbolically throw it out of the window

If you only have the casing, this can be put to great use!

12. Take everthing out and turn it into a barbeque
13. See what happens when you don’t cool your processor
14. Strip it and sell the working parts
15. Blow it up

You an also strip the insides of your case and put another device in it:

16. Coffee maker
17. Aquarium (with plexi glass plating, of course)
18. Webcam
19. Paper shredder
20. Use it as a trash can
21. Make it a mailbox
22. Build a can dispenser to obtain a beverage of your choice

The monitor (CRT) can be used for various purposes as well:

23. This can also be converted into an aquarium
24. Remove the tube and create a cage for small animals
25. Ash tray
26. CD / DVD Rack
