Yes, not that. Then it's just a harddisk, but I want to use it's CPU, ethernet, soundcard, etc. Few things that I could imagine for such usage: - run OS 9 and work with apps that are not OS X compatible. - run sound software processes that are to heavy to use on only one machine - run streaming servers for music - set up a Wiki server or a website - etc. I.e. loads of things that my computer can still do although the screencard is dead .cheers thor
