What can be done with your old equipment?
Depending on its system specs...
1. A Media Center/DVR/HTPC (Home Theater PC) buy throwing in a TV Tuner and installing some software, whether it be Microsoft's Media Center or the many good aftermarket products like Snapstreams BeyondTV or others.
2. A File/FTP/HTTP server. Throw in some big drives and store your data on it or use it as data backup. Host a File server to access files from anywhere or even host a site.
3. Sell it for a few bucks... wont get much for even a few year old pc.
4. Hook up someone who doesn't have a pc... old pc > no pc.
I donated a
P4 1.8GHz
1GB memory (400)
80GB HDD
DVD burner
Win Xp
to a friend that was getting it ready for a US soldier who suffered a serious mental injury. The computers task was to play endless slideshows of the soldiers kids which he couldnt remember.
Originally a POS pentium 1 machine was gonna do the task, but I was like, aint happening on that, so I hooked him up with my old machine.
It felt good to do that and get it out of my closet.
