  agreed with all those too.

  much easier to work with more memory and more recent
processor/graphics.

  give it to the recycler and move on.

  i finally gave up a closet full of old hardware and a
huge monitor that was taking up so much space on my desk
that weighed about 70lbs.  replaced it with a monitor i
can pick up with two fingers and it consumes a lot less
electricity.  for the amount of electricity you burn 
using older tech you might pay for the newer technology
in a few years just in electricity charges alone.

  i did reuse an old Dell PC case for this new hardware
but that's about all i could use.
