Give it to someone who has an even older computer.
- swilliams 18y agoHonestly, this is the best solution. I've tried to resurrect old workstations as various servers and they have always ended up collecting dust in a closet somewhere. The only one that's seen success is the media center that records television, and that's only because the capture card didn't have the right drivers for my current desktop. The other most common uses I hear (servers to tinker with Technology X) can just be done in a VM, which will generate far less noise, heat, and power bills.
