Any ideas?
thanks

They make decent routers/firewalls - drop in an Ethernet card or 3 and run IPNetRouter. While you're at it, throw in a big drive (get one of them ATA cards) and make a fileserver. They're also good for low-volume web + mail serving. I have a IIci that does all of the above (no IDE drives), so the 7200 should have no trouble.

or have it run rc5 or seti 24/7 that what i do with my old performa 575

...or, even better, both!

Here's what I'm planning on doing with our old 8600 when the new Quicksilver turns up :

2 Enet cards (which it has already) + Vicomsoft Internet Gateway (or whatever they're calling it now) = router with NAT for my cable modem
Upgrade to OS9 to give filesharing over TCP/IP - this way it's compatible with the machines in the house that will be running OSX. I'll remove multiple users etc. to speed OS9 up.
Run RC5/OGR, but set to a fairly low priority aso as not to interfere with filesharing etc.
Add in VNC or Timbuktu for remote control and it can be stuck away under a desk and forgotten about. Bliss.

Alternatively:
Just have some fun with it if you can't think of anything useful. Try:

• Overclocking (if it's possible with a 7200?)
• Building a new case - I put my LC475 in a crate (that's still an ongoing project!)
• Bung it with a monitor and keypad or something into a box and ou have a basic arcade machine - relive those classic games!

Good luck!

Sell to me how much...

Love your Mac...

Truthfully turning it into a mame arcade emulation mac would be unrealistic unless you are running 70's style games, the mac wouldnt cut it to run the 16-bit newer stuff.

Just turn it into a carracho pRon server...

Give the IP to me and Ill frequent your server occaisionally....
