Gromit is Dead! Long live Gromit!

Last night Gary helped me clean up Gromit, my old computer. I had already transferred its brain to my new computer, so we reformatted the hard drive. This morning I re-installed Windows 2000 and it seems to work fine.

What to do with it now? I only have one monitor, and I don't have a switch box to easily go between the two computers (right now I have to unplug-and-replug the monitor cable when I want to switch.) So, it's not very convenient having both computers in use. I have thought about converting it to a linux box, or possibly selling it or giving it away to a good home. I have a new power supply I had bought for it last year that I never used that I might try installing, partly to make it quieter, and for practice.
