Repurpose Your Old PC

You probably have an old computer stashed somewhere, just gathering dust. As Daily Cup of Tech tells us, you can actually give that old PC a new purpose, depending on your computing needs.

"An old computer these days is no longer a completely useless system. In fact, even though I might upgrade my main computer every couple of years, I usually take ten to fifteen years before I completely remove it from my home network and send it to that great LAN in the sky!" [Daily Cup of Tech | Put That Old Computer To Good Use]

The twelve uses are:

• Firewall/Router
• File Server
• Print Server
• Fax Gateway
• Web/FTP Server
• SSH/SCP Server
• Anti-SPAM Server
• Proxy Server
• Thin Client
• Voice Mail Server
• Media Server
• BitTorrent Box

If you actually aren't looking into repurposing your old computer, maybe you could donate it to someone who could use it instead?
