Question

linux

I recently bought a new computer, and the old one is lying around just like that, what can be done from it?
Specifications:
- Video: Nvidia 9600GT 512MB 256Bit
- Hard: WD Caviar Blue 250GB
- RAM: 2GB
I can make a server out of it, but what about power consumption?

Answer 1

The case without sidewalls is an excellent brazier.

Answer 2

Make a torrent downloader, file cleaner if you don’t mind the light (such as a self-assembled NAS). You can also raise the function of the router, hang up your website, and so a stand for tests on trifles, a video surveillance system for the home, and a bunch of everything, if there was a desire. A server does not need a vidyuha, sell it at a flea market.

Answer 3

spb-otdam-darom.ru
avito.ru
www.menyaem.ru
http://yamenyayu.rf/
and so on.

Answer 4

I'm sitting on a weaker piece of iron now, everything works. Performance suits (debian), but was once a spare. As a result, the main laptop is broken, I've been sitting on this for a year. Leave, for wife/guests/children

Answer 5

You can give it here darudar.org
Or on Avito at a bargain price.
The server can be made if you really need it. In most cases, it is easier to connect the drive to the router.
Server power consumption can be measured using special software. But in any case, it will be higher than that of the router.

Answer 6

Aukro = molotok
Slando = avito

Answer 7

I usually do this. Either I keep it as a spare, or I use it for all sorts of experiments, well, like installing Steam, playing the toys available in it. Before pulling all this on the main computer.
