    So I ended up picking this up for free and wanted to know what you guys think I should do with this old tower. It is a Slot A Athlon 900 Mhz/Asus K7V Motherboard/BFG Ti4200 Graphics Card. Based on the serial # it is one of the Alienware Area 51 Towers from 1998-1999 range. My Co-Worker joked that I should slap some updated parts in it as it is a collectors case.

    Set it up as an arcade for classic games.
