rimaz nazeer asks:
I have a really old slim PS2, which I’ve not been using for a long time and I don’t want to play games on it anymore. What are the other things that I could use it for or turn it into?

September 12, 2012I took the fan out, cut open a USB cable and soldered the red and black wires to the fan, and put it into a wooden laptop stand I made, custom laptop cooling exactly where it is needed. Under load I got the CPU to 45C max and at idle down to 23C!
Ooops, misread, mine was a phat one. Sorry.

September 15, 2012Something a little more geeky you could do with it is set it up as a local server to store all of your music and videos so you can play them on any computer connected. Its quite a bit more difficult than selling it or taking the parts but if your in the mood for a project it can be quite useful.
