Spare servers, possible uses ?

[Mr Dave]

Hi all,

I currently have 2 old decommissioned servers I’ve acquired from work, both with licensed versions of 2003 server just sitting around at home and need a use for them. Both Servers have around 100GB of storage, dual PIII, with 1GB of RAM.

I thought about setting up a NAS server but that’s a bit boring and I’d like something creative to do. Either that or I might drop them from a great height and watch them shatter into a million little pieces

Any and all suggestions welcome.


Thanks

Dave

install folding@home on both of them and join the ocuk folding team you could use them as a file server aswell or drop them into my hands and ill put them to good use

File/media server, hardware firewall, test system or you could do as suggested put them to use for F@H or similar. Another option is to give them to charity so that people who really need them can use them.

Hey never thought of charity, really good idea ! thanks

Think i'l have a play around with 1 of them, set it up as a file server and F@H and donate the other one.

Cheers Guys
