Since I'm making a circuit, I'd salvage parts. But I don't think
that's what you'd like to do. The "Frame it and hang it up" idea
wasn't too bad.
or you could just stuff it into your PC with wires plugged in (going no where) and brag about how your PC uses two motherboards.

Can I see a demo now?

keep it, pass it down a few generations. sell it as an antique for millions. thats what im doing with my uncles old pc... tho i think one that still works would be even better, as a demonstration of how crummy our software is compared to the 3d-monitor supoorting games of the future, and OS's that dont make you cry, not that'll take a while. and also completely fortified computers agains viruses/virii and hacks. having to reformat will be a thing of teh past. and then child pr0n become legalised... maybe thats going to far.



edit: 3d monitor basically being... well... i guess like a holodeck on starwars... or maybe even more like a monitor thats kind of like a box... and things move around in this box, made by the game maker (using darkbasic 3k) he doesnt model with polygons, he models ionised particals and antimatter, which prance back and forth around your screen, insteam of smaller and bigger on a 2d surface

Put an axe through it, title it "I love Computers" and send it to the Tate Modern.

Blow it up with fireworks

Put wheels under it and use it as a skateboard

Use it as a snowboard

Put it in a box and throw it in the ocean

Dig a hole and put it in there

sell it to someone, tell them it works... my way is the best because you'll have something useful at the end... money

In the beginning, the universe was created...
This made alot of people very angry and it has been widely regarded as a bad idea...

Why not start a company, and introduce it to everyone as your 'silent partner'...
