My basement is like a mortuary with the remains of computers all lying in state, waiting and hoping for a new lease on life. But what is there to do with the K6s, the Celerons, and Pentiums of the past. It seems nothing short of a miracle would bring these ghosts back to life.

Just a *bit* paranoid, are we? For some reason, I picture your hand on the phone w/ BSA on speed-dial. Are they still giving away free lawn chairs?
I've had about eight PC's in the last few years, and could probably only produce the original install media for 2-3 of them. If you don't need it very often (well, maybe you might for windows ), it slowly migrates away from your computer.
I recently built a cocktail table style arcade machine with an old PII-300 and 128MB RAM and it runs amazingly. Dual monitors, homebrew GUI written in ncurses. And before this machine was an arcade machine, it was a dial-up router/firewall that anyone in the house could control from their own PC.
