Here are my specs...120 hz clock, 16M RAM, fat32, 1.2 giga HD...i know there are gonna be lots of people who are gonna tell me that i just should get rid of it, believe me i recently gave a Win 2k machine to GOOD WILL, the thing is that this Win95 machine has a great sentimental value for me and i wonder if there is anything to do with it to get it to work or to do interesting things with it nowadays...thanks in advance for all the suggestions...

Give it to someone that wants to be introduced to computers and doesn't yet have one. They'll use it for a short while and then get a new one.
At 120MHz, most schools/charities won't take it and it's too slow to run any recent software. Win98 will load, but I wouldn't load any other version. Interested in dabbling in Linux? If so, it may make a good machine for that.
I gave away a Tandy 1000 a couple of years ago - was hold it too for "sentimental" value but it was truely useless. Or, maybe I couldn't get over throwing away a machine I paid $1,500 for in 1985? :)

You could use the parts. If you have another computer add a second hard drive to it, use the ram and add it if it uses the same type of ram, and the optical drives you could use. But if you dont want to do that you could use it as a media pC like connecting it to your tv and then add internet and and a wireless keyboard and mouse and bam serf the internet for videos and stuff like that and watch it yoru tv.
