So I've got like 2 computers available to me at the moment. One of them is an AMD K6 3500mhz with 128MB Ram and the other is somewhere along the lines of 500mhz. Any ideas what I should do with them? I'm gonna mod their little AT cases, add some lighting, and possibly upgrade them.

Advice.

Use them as file servers for your house to store MP3's, documents, etc.

Good idea. I might use one as a print server too.. Connect the printer to the computer and install a wireless card.

Yes, the print server is an even better idea.

I'd like to get my hands on any AMD processor that comes at 3.5GHz stock. :P

Anyways, file server, print server or maybe even a web server are all good ideas.

Heh, fixed that horrid typo. Greg, 850mhz is a bit over the top for a simple file/web/print server.. Why not install some linux distrobution on it and use it that way?
