Hey I got a server in my house which I purchased not too long ago and right now its just taking up space. Give me some good ideas on what I can do with it besides using it as a door stop.

You mean taking up the room space? Maybe you could fit it to some drawer or closet. ofcourse if they are not totally full hehe
Or did I misunderstood?

Run folding or seti on it.

@NukeCorr yea it is actually taking up space, but the issue is not so much taking up space but me wanting to do something useful with it.

@Hodgman thats not a bad idea if no other ideas pop up Id definetly consider it, but I would like to do something somewhat fun or that I could use myself (I know that probably sounds terrible instead of looking for alien life forms or curing diseases I want to entertain myself :-P)

Ah... well then... Program a self-aware AI and watch it take control over the world!

can i program him to be my friend......??? :-D

haha, I guess. Don't be mean and evil, don't piss it off and maybe it will have mercy on you

Use it as a media center, or create a central administration webserver for the household. You can plug it into the tv and run an amiga emulator on it! Joypads/-sticks are cheap! Or you can throw its contents into your aquarium along with a few bits of underwater lighting and you got yourself a nice decoration for the fishes!

- I'd go with the self-awareness thing, though!

Would be awesome to program an application that has AI to expand itself, like coding more code what it needs and uses it.. though that's to high-tech.. wonder if it would work with humanbrain connected to computer....

I'm sorry, not much on-topic here, I'll stop now!

Give it to me, its my birthday this year.
