I got this PC from my dad when he upgraded in like December ish. I've been running Kubuntu on it and just using it like a sort of general purpose desktop for me and my wife, but I've got a hankering for some tinkering and feel like it has more potential, so I'd love some project ideas!

CPU will draw a lot of energy just sitting idle, so if you don't have something solid to throw at it, just leave it.

Where did you get that idea from? i7-6700k can idle at lower than 4W
