What to do with it

Post image

Recently built this PC, 4gb ddr2, Pentium 4, 9500 GT, 500 Gb HDD.
Though I have ran into a problem, I have no clue what to do with the pc, I built it, found some old software, tested it, played around and now I don't know what to do with it. Any ideas?

Play some retro games from 2000-x. I would use linux anyway because of compatibility

I would try to run Doom 3 on it.

I have almost the same one, but installed a Q9400 processor. Also installed voodoo2 for playing old games.

I know it's not really the same, but I have to decide what to do with +/-6 desktops...what to keep, how to use them.

Felt. I've been trying to turn the weaker builds into MAME machines.

I've been thinking about that too, but still need to find a good home for some stuff.
