I'm used to being unpopular, so I'll go the other way. :)  I agree with 
Jeff.  Pentium Pro is just waaaaay to old.  My thin clients have more 
horsepower than a pentium pro...

I have a quad Xeon (500mhz) server that is too pokey for wide scale use. 
  If you knocked that down to a Pentium Pro, I think it would be painful.

Try installing linux on the machine, and use it as a desktop.  My gut 
feeling is that even as a 1 user computer, you're going to be 
disappointed with the Pentium Pro.

Just my 2 cents...
