What to do with my old rig ???

Hi guys if you take a look at my specs you will see my old rig, I am wondering what to do with it as it is still quite useful, One of the ideas I had was to host my own website from it and leave it running 24/7 does it have the balls to do that or maybe I could wire it up to my new system and if I did can I access it all using only the new system as I only have one monitor. But i am open to suggestions as I don't really want to scrap it or give it away,

Regards

Steve

Make it backup server for the house.

EDIT__OOPS I typed too slowly.

You could set it up as a server and a backup system to store disk images and valuable data from your other networked computers. Don't need to much processing power to do that. If properly set up it could also be used to add to your network security.

You could donate it to a school or church that needs one.

Anyone in your family need a PC?

Even though he said he didn't want to give it away, I must ask the OP why you would still keep it around? Is it because it's useful and you think you would be getting rid of something of value?

Consider giving it to a church, maybe one that teaches computers to the community. It's a tax writeoff which you cannot go wrong with.

I say keep it around, if for no other reason, than to have a back-up unit. Fire it up once in a while to keep virus definitions, etc, current. I chose to hang onto my ancient prior computer, and right now, I'm glad I did, or I would not be online at all!

Put a Linux in it, make a headless "home" server out of it, and access it through a web browser (like most broadband routers). It can store backups, music, video, whatever files you want...
