My old AMD-K6 was not worth the effort because it was an AT format case, not the AT-X case.
The AT connectors and their locations are different from the AT-X, so the keyboard, power supply, and case can not be reused. (motherboard upgrade).
Maybe you can keep it as a second system and drop a network card in it.
Then you could play SEIV head to head. 
Or maybe you can give it to a poorer relative, like I did.
Check out this link:

Less money, but I suggest you upgrade the memory and hardrive a little...
http://www.pcclub.com/systems_config...p&bomid=EN-PF4
These system do not come with a monitor.
My old monitor was not plug-n-play and that became too much of a setup pain.
The hardrive can be partitioned. The system will act like each partition is a seperate drive.
I hope I am helping you...

Not to say you're wrong Wardad, but you can redrill the holes on an AT case to get an ATX case, and the AT PSU can be rewired as well... but I would not want to do it, and I am good at computers!
