Sell the parts for money and buy cool things better than the computer.

Buy some stuffty Alienware case for it and sell it to some fool on eBay for hundreds of dollars.
That's a good idea

I guess installing some linux distro would be suitable for a computer of this age

if he's planning on using it then yes

use the parts to build a robot!!!!!!
it would be a very laggy robot

Put it in a sealed box/container, stick it in the back of your closet, forget about it for 20 years, take it out and sell (Or play Blockland again).
