That's better than my 2nd best computer
You could use it as a server, a media center, try out another OS maybe, use it as a router (kinda a waste of a good machine if you ask me though)

Install Apache or some other server program, then (if you're behind a router) enable NAT.

Make a franken-heatsink for it that needs no fan- maybe undervolt/underclock it- rip it open, get rid of the stuff you don't need, slim it down, stuff it in an old VCR case and plug in a TV tuner. Maybe find a bigger hard drive for recording shows. Get a nice cheap wireless mouse/keyboard combo off of newegg.com, and have a nifty, cheap, home entertainment web-tv oldschool gaming platform!

Nice little computer, turn into a home gaming machine (N-Forcer, my idea), and run source ports like WinQuake, Doom Legacy, and attack 2 USB Ports for Controllers.
Somebody please buy my Dreamcast >_> £20+shipping
