Hey guys I have no idea where to put this up on here but this seems like an ok spot for it.
I am wondering what to do with my old system and am looking for some advice.
It is an intel q6600 go
xfx 680i sli motherboard
xfx 8800gts graphics card
4gb geil ddr2 800mhz ram
western digital 500gb hard drive
Now I am just wondering what to do with it. It is just sitting in pieces in my room in the boxes of my new system. It needs a power supply so if I am to get it up and running again I would need to buy a cheap one. I was thinking of making it into a dedicated server for my cs:go team to play on but that team has folded so there is no need to do that now but it would be an option for something to mess around on maybe. Would a basic gaming server use alot of bandwidth a month?
Other options would be to make it into a media server of some description for my house to stream stuff to their laptops but I have no idea how to set that up properly to allow different pc's and laptops to see it and access certain files but not others etc so I would need help there if I go that path.
Also maybe as a file backup server or something for the house with the possibility of remote access. Tbh that is a little over my head atm but I am willing to learn.
The last option bar leave it in pieces is to sell the bits but I dont think they would make anything today.
So I ask what would you do with it?
