I've just built up a reasonable AM2 system on the cheap, I don't really know why, I just like having a desktop system "incase..."
I've not clocked it yet but I'm expecting a reasonable performance boost on the X2 3800. However, aside from gaming, I really don't know what to do on it. There must be some sort of fancy interesting hobby to take up?

So the question, what do you do with your PC's? Is it just gaming/web browsing, or are there other things that you spend time using them for?

There's no order to that and their not all things I do but just to give you some ideas.
 
laptop for browsing around the house with wireless and when i'm out on the road.

Main pc - games, msn, browsing, email, watching tv/films/music/video audio and graphics editing, everything

Server - radius, downloading, smtp catching, domain, dns, dhcp, vpn, daily backups, virtal machines/domain for testing

Parents use their machine for graphics and music publishing, brother uses his for the normal stuff, msn etc.
 
Emulation - Playing old PS1, Snes, Nes, gameboy and dreamcast games

Media work - ripping encoding DVDs, CDs. Manipulating photos and editing family photos. incredibly geeky but I enjoy perfecting family photos (all properly tagged, no red eye etc)

Internet work - Msn, forums, reviews, news

Used to game a lot on my PC but since buying an XBox 360 on launch day, the console serves my gaming needs. Actually saved me a packet as I was like a lot of people on here constantly upgrading to new hardware :p
