I don't know what your A/V set-up is like at home, but you could also use it as a media center. We have an old laptop connected to a good but also old receiver and speakers in the basement. It works great, you can store music (although not too much on yours unless you also have some external memory), stream music/video and pipe it though a real stereo. Sounds good, you put the old laptop to use, and it's not that big of a deal if a pool cue goes through the screen.  

Delete the main partition twice to remove all your data etc and then restart pressing f10 to boot from the hidden restore to factory default partition. Then pop the beast on Ebay for 100$ plus postage and packing, or sell it to a friend whos wife is not a generous as yours
