Ok heres the deal . a relative is getting rid of their computer and has offered it me first cos they know thats what i do etc . So anyway they said how much am i prepared to pay them so i thought to myself and said i would get back at them in a day or so .
Heres the spec
Intel celeron 1.7GHZ
128Mb pc2100 ram
40gb ide hard drive
cd rom drive
crappy onboard video
prolly a 17" crt
keboard mouse
maybe a desk
I was thinking around £30 which for USD is about double at $60
my plan was too bang another 512 or 256mb ram in it and another 60Gb hard drive and use it as a server in my house which is where i come to my second question
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How easy would it be to use this as a server
basicaly my network at the moment is like this
1) i have a linksys wag 54gs with my 2 desktops wired to it and my laptop wirelessly connected to it
I wanna use the server as a filestorage server where all files are stored . How easy would this be to do without incurring too much cost on myself
My thought is to connect the comp to one of the router ports and set it up there someone but are there other ways ?
