That's what I plan to do. Use it as a file/print server and for surfing. I plan to keep the new build off the Internet. It will have all my graphics/video software, MS Office, a game or two, and some basic/free anti-virus stuff with low system resource usage. I'll have my film and flatbed scanners attached to the new machine too.

Seems wasteful. What do you guys do with your old rigs and processors? As for a budget for a new build I would say $600 tops, preferably closer to $500. Which ms OS? Currently dual boot is C: win98se and HD2/Slackware. |
