Extra Computer

[azkid110]

ok i got this pretty old computer, and its an extra so im not using it, and i dont know what to do with it heres what it has:

Pentium MMX 266mhz
128mb Ram
3.5gb harddrive
3gb harddrive
2 ethernet cards
52x cd drive
Ati graphics pro turbo pci
windows 98 (i have linux, freebsd, and win. xp)

i was thinking of turning it into a server, a firewall box, or a media thing... like i said, i dont know what to do with it. so what would you do with it? (besides throw it away or donate it lol)

Put like a 40gb hdd in there and use it for downloading.

 

[Lord AnthraX]

give it to me. Il take it off your hands.

Id use it for playing old dos and windows 95 games. Load up a copy of windows 95, or load up dos and you can play all those old games without the headaches.

I concur.

put linux on it and turn it in to a router or server.

 

[IBMan]

i was gonna say, firewall or router and or both, it already has 2 NICs

 

[macdude425]

put linux on it and turn it in to a router or server.

I agree.

put linux on it and turn it in to a router or server.

It's too slow alot of that stuff now.

Linux based firewall's / routers are pretty rescource consuming, smoothwall would get bogged down in any real situation on that.
