Well, i recently build some computers from discarded parts from the office... i upgraded my wife old Pentium 166 to a new Duron 600mhz in the following way:

Previously / After Upgrade:
Pentium 166 / Duron 600mhz
32MB Ram / 128MB Ram
1.2GB HD / 1.2GB HD
2mb Video Card / Onboard video card
33.6kbps modem / 56kpbs modem (onboard)
No network card / Network card (onboard)
Windows 95 / Windows 98

The only things i left from the original were the HD (because i didn´t have any from the scrapped computers of the office) and the external cask (my wife really love the external cask), then, wityh the pieces i got from her old computer, another 1.2gb HD and one of the casks from the office (and an old 14" screen) i built the following computer for my nephew:

Pentium 166
32 MB Ram
1.2Gb HD
2mb video card
33.6 Modem
No Lan
Windows 95

I considered putting linux in the old machine, but since my nephew never used any computers i thought Win95 would be easier to him.... just to complete my collecting, these are the configurations of my other computers:

Home / Office / Notebook
Duron 1.2ghz / Duron 1.4ghz / Via C3 1.0ghz
256mb Ram / 256mb Ram / 256mb Ram
60gb HD / 40gb HD / 30gb HD
Geforce2 64mb / Onboard Card (shared memory) / Onboard Card (shared memory)
No Modem / No Modem / 56kb Modem
No Lan / 10/100 Lan / 10/100 Lan
Windows XP / Windows XP / Windows XP

I still have a lot of old pieces and Boards from the computers sscrapped at the office, but only old things like Pentiuns 100 an 166, and don´t have any HD to put in them, but i´m waiting for the next upgrade frenzy in the office so i can get more pieces (i made an agreement with my colleagues at the office that i would fix any problem and upgrade their computers if they gave me the old Boards and equipaments when they upgrade, so i really don´t need to buy anything, just wait for they to upgrade...)
