    You can use it for lan's if you want but the 550 is a bit low-endish compared to your main PC. Sell it on Gumtree, use the proceeds to upgrade something else.

    ok so everybody is telling me to sell. maybe that's my only option. Really hope I could do something even with just the graphics card. Just another thing is my main rig weights a ton compared to this one

    Specs
    Q6600
    GTX550TI
    8GB RAM
    MSI p45 neo-f motherboard
    Standard pc case
    250GB Hard drive.

    I really don't want to sell it. I work as it administrator so yes I can pretty much understand everything.

    Oh before I forget I have a western digital live media player


    Will not donate the system
    Why not do some Folding for the Folding@Home network? You could also just use it as a test system for Windows 8 and small software deployments.
