I ordered a new laptop but I felt like it would be a waste to just toss the old components. I found that I could get an ITX motherboard that could use the old laptop's processor and memory. So I'm going to end up cobbling together a new desktop out of some salvaged parts, a motherboard I got off of eBay, and a new case to house it all. These are the specs:
2nd Gen i7 processor
8 gb ddr3 ram
1 tb hard drive
ATI Radeon 6870 Graphics card
So, a decent little build, but I don't really have a use for another computer. Any ideas?

Well, I always try to compartmentalize online activities. For example, there is Tumblr viewing. If you've ever wondered what hot lesbians do when nobody is supposedly watchin, well, you prolly don't want to do that on the village PC...
Then there is craigslist. Have a neighbor that pisses you off? Post their crap on craigslist for free. Coordinate for when they're not home using google voice tied to a burner phone plus burner email address. Only connect to public WiFi. Good times great fun.
