A bunch of junk that needs a use

Post by The_Last_Mohican »

So my mom brings home 3 boxes of computer junk from her school that she works at and i was hoping it would be fairly recent stuff so i could build a decent little server. Unfortunately its all circa 1995-98 equipment. I've got alot of this stuff and I'm really really bored. So someone got any idea for what i can do with it that will actually be useful? Since im so bored here's a parts list:
-5 power suppliese between 148 W to 250 W
-6 ancient AT style mobos ( most are socket 7)
-5 socket 7 CPUs ranging from 75mhz-633mhz
-about 20 sticks of old ram (short kind) from 8-32 mb
-5 hard drives from 1-20 gb
-3 cd rom drivers and 1 cd burner
-4 3.5 floppy drives
-assorted bag of cords, fans, and wires

So what to do with this junk?

na, thats too simple lol. I'm thinking some of those sticks of ram might fly from a clay pigeon thrower... so maybe the old 12 gauge will solve the problem. But im still hoping theres something that they can be of actual use for.
