1. Pull everything out and use the case to store your shoes. Especially if it's a full-tower one.
2. If a friend of yours collects insects (spiders or ants), give it to him. It'd be a great park and they could have some fun.
3. Put four wheels on it and use it as a skateboard.

What do you mean, amusing? My PC is a 486!
I guess running OS/2 and NT Workstation on it is pretty amusing... LOL

It's a dog eat dog world out there, and there isn't enough dog to go around. So get as much dog as you can, before all the dogs gone.

You need to try overclocking it to the max, try attaching a car battery to the processor for some extre juice if needed. If all else fails it makes a nice give it to some younger kid so they can learn all about these wonderful thing called a 486 they learned about in their computer class.

See what it looks like at the bottom of a pool. Give it to your dog to play with. Send it c.o.d. to your mother-in-law (with a dead fish inside it). set it outside with the trash and see how long it takes before someone takes it. I did that with 4 old 13" IBM monitors and 2 old apple printers. I almost had a war in my front yard!
