What to do with...

I have an old Toshiba Satelite lappy sitting in my closet. The screen doesn't work on it, but the base still works perfectly. Pentium 166MHz proc, 64MB of RAM, and a 5GB HD. What should I do with this thing? Maybe upgrade the HD and use it as a file server?

Put it on e-bay, you would be shocked at what people will pay for spare parts.

Okay, I have another junker I found in the closet. I forgot I even had these parts:

Intel Celeron 700MHz PGA370 proc
ASUS CUW-AM HP OEM board
384MB PC-100 RAM
10GB Laptop HD (using converter)
GeForce MX400 PCI vid card

What to use it for?

CarPuter? in the case of the laptop... if it has a parallel port i can hook a 4x40 LCD to it and make a mp3 player out of it. The other isnt too shabby.. a slow HTPC... a MAME box?
