Pentium D 925 in 2017 Any Uses ??

Well guys,
I have this old PC lying around with me and the specs are: PENTIUM D 925, 1.5GB RAM, 80GB HDD
Now this obviously has no meaning to upgrade but it runs windows 10 x86 so I was looking for any suggestions on anything useful to do with it

file server/NAS maybe...door stop for sure. What did you have in mind for it?

Probably a Living room youtube machine but its too big to fit in 😛

A toaster? Space heater? I throw Pentium D's in the bin. When you can buy a C2D E8400 for less than £10 why bother?

Actually I'm running on a Pentium d 950 with windows 8,1 64 bit 3gb ram and hd 3450 and it does web browsing really well and it can do 720p vids just fine im typing this up on it now I mean its not a slow or loud machine and excellent for browsing the internet with a decent windows accelerator like the hd 3450



Also if you think about adding at the minimum another 1 gb of ram it will be a lot faster than it is now trust me but i can understand not wanting to putting any money in it
