What are some fun projects I can do to justify my too powerful computer?


I just built a PC for a quarantine project. It's got way more CPU cores than I need, way more RAM than I need, more GPU than I need. I hate to see my resource usage in ytop sitting so slow constantly.

What are some fun projects I could do to justify having such a powerful computer? The only one I've thought about is crypto mining which seems kind of silly if it only makes me $2 a day.

Folding@Home[1] or some other distributed compute project that you would like to support?

Keep it running cold most of the time so it can Turbo when you need it.
