Ideas for old Compaq Presario 6000

edited December 2014 in Hardware
I was taking out the trash and found a Compaq Presario 6000 sitting next to the dumpster. I grabbed it and was kinda sad to see the specs but I have a crap load of old parts so I can max out the memory to 512MB and toss in a old AGP nVidia card. I might be able to toss in a P4 CPU but that's if the socket size is the right type. I haven't cracked it open yet.

Three things I can do with this system but I cant make up my mind.

1. Strip it down and reuse the case for better hardware.
2. Max it out and slap Linux on it.
3. Max it out and use it as a classic gaming rig for NES, SNES and MAME.
