what to do with an extra computer

my sister just grabbed a brand new laptop and has abandoned her box for me to mess with. what a dream come true. but i don't know what to use it for. i've put windows xp, mandrake linux and longhorne on it. i've put a distributed computing task on it. then i attempted to create a VPN, but was unsuccessful at accessing it when i went to the library and used their wi-fi. now what?
my friend said to try and setup an itunes server on it. i'll read more of that after i post this.

i was thinking about maybe taking it all apart and creating my own media center box with all imaginable codecs and replacing our main dvd player. any more ideas?

wear it as a hat.













...or use it as a firewall. Can't come up with anything good.

Drop it out of a tall building and watch it smash to the ground. Record the impact on video and watch it in slow motion.

Make it a nest for a small pet.

Overclock it and use it as a heater. Or a stove.

Switch the US/Europe voltage knob while it's running and watch the fireworks.

Transform it to a time machine.

Paint it green and dump it in the river, then report it stolen and get the insurance money.

Dismantle it to tiny pieces so "they" cannot send you subliminal messages through it. Remember to wear a tinfoil hat too.

Empty the case, attach a strap on the top and use it as a shopping bag.

Make it a stylish coffee cup holder (ie. open the CD/DVD tray).

Plant flowers (or other plants of your choice) in it.

Replace the side panels to glass panels, then use it as a fish tank.

Donate it to the poor.

Stash all your porn on it, then blame it on your sister (or any other person of your choice).

Put wheels under it, paint a face in the front. Then start dragging it on a leash to everywhere you go and tell everyone it's your pet.

OK, I'm outta ideas.

Behold, my arse.

You could just make a bomb of it and then replace some idiot's computer with it. Or then just use it as a server machine and put only some dirty things in there and then maybe even give it to your sister and tell her that you've made it 10 times more powerful now, so it can finally run Doom 1.
