Server Mainboard
Can I turn a server into a desktop?

I have a Dell Poweredge 1500SC server. Its running a board with 2 P3 1.2ghz processors, 1gb sdram, 6 scsi 200gb hard drives which are raided as 2 logical drives.
Is it possible to take apart and use the mainboard, processors and ram as the basis for a desktop, with ide hard drives?
I am low on cash and cannot afford to build a new comp, someone suggested I take it apart and sell for parts. Not sure what to do.

You could. Why not use it as a moderately powered desk top as is and spend nothing?
