ideas for a spare computer?

i thought of that too, but i really don't have anything i really want to try. on the off chance that i do find something like that, i usually just load it into a VM to get a general idea of the workings of it. also, i forgot to mention that i don't have a spare monitor i can use. the only other monitor i have is a really tiny one that my dad picked up on the street that we really only use for random testing or emergencies (like one time some water leaked into my dad main monitor and he had to use the small one while it dried).

oh, i thought you meant for me to buy one for it. i wouldn't sell it or give it away just yet considering that something strange is always happening with the computers in my house and a spare one is always handy to have. right now the only spare ones i have are from the windows ME and older era (specwise). so something like this is a welcome change from what we're used to using.

Looks like you've got yourself a new spare PC.

No Monitor and CD/DVD drive is a bit restrictive to actually use for anything.

looks that way. once i get some money, i might look on craigslist or something if i can pick up a cheap monitor. hopefully an LCD one. can't stand carrying those old CRT ones up and down my stairs. those suckers are heavy...

KVM switch?

0_o i had no idea that was possible. how would i set that up?
