What can you do with a used up PC? I once saw a picture of one turned
into a litter box, but I can't find it online right at the moment...

Put it on eBay, I'm always surprised what a Mac goes for.   About a 
year ago I got $100 out of a PowerMac 8100 and $85 out of a PowerMac 
6100 with the DOS card and no software.

The nice thing about Macs is that they don't loose value faster than a 
new car driven off the lot.    I bought a PowerBook G4 550 on eBay for 
$1700.   Used it for about 7 months, and sold it for $1500.    Not a 
bad rent charge for a few months.   If I did that with a PC I'd have 
gotten half what I paid for it.
