I have an idea. I know a lot of us have old motherboards, video cards and whatnot laying around collecting dust, most of it is too obsolte to sell. So I was thinking, maybe if we put all our old parts together we might actually be able to make a complete system. What would we do with a junky old system you ask? Well we would use it as a server of course! Im finding out that junky systems work great as servers. My old PII 350 is set up as a CS/Red Faction server and it works great. If you guys want to try this let me know what you got layin around.

Heres what I have:

Several video cards ranging from V3 1000 (agp), TNT (PCI), V3 2000 (PCI)
Celeron 366 processor w/heatsink
Oldschool AT style cases w/ pentium mmx mobo and processors. not sure if we could use the MMX cpu and MB for anything, but we might be able to mod the cases to take an ATX board.
Oldschool hardrives ranging from 1 to 2 gigs.
10 megabit linksys network cards.

I think thats about it. Let me know if you guys want to add any of your junk to the pile, so we can maybe get another server up.
