Server, download box, folding box, PVR/HTPC etc
install ipcop and a second nic and turn your redundant box into a firewall for your network.
install linux and use the box as a webserver, fileserver, irc bouncer, download machine, number cruncher, experimental play thing.
rip the machine to shreds and turn it into many keyrings.
sell it on hexus.
sell it on ebay.
pop it in the loft and forget about it for another decade. it'll be more interesting then.
youve now got me inteuged keo-t, webserver on linux, intersting hmmmm, as in hosting a website from your own machine, hmmm, is this possible, ive set up an ftp server before, but a web server?
Under Development...
I have a poweredge sat in loft, it acts as domain controller, file server, dhcp, download box, UD box, does all sorts.
Use it for storage or a dedicated server.
GA-7N400 Pro2
XP 2800+
2 X 512MB Kingston PC3200 ram
Nvidia 6600GT
Well I've somehow ended up with a main gaming/web surfing/work PC, a media PC (MP3s, DivX and such), and with my housemate a Mandrake Linux file storage server (using Samba). Ohter ideas would be to use as a firewall, donate it to charity, or, if its really old and useless, to experiment with different ways of destroying it, videoing all the fun.
fold!!!!!!!!
whats fold?...you mean that drug-thingy, like seti@home?

I used my spare machine as a writing machine (reviews and school work and all this) and now it has become my main work rig (do all my work, web dev, msn, web browsing on it) and all for nothing!
ah jolly good
