Reusing an Old PC as a Server

Reusing an Old PC as a Server

Goal: Provide instructions to turn an old computer into a server that you can control remotely and use for various handy purposes.

Should you…

  • Throw it out – NO
  • Give it away? Come on
  • Donate it to charity? Even poor kids don’t want that thing
  • Take it out to a field and give it an Office Space style beat down like Peter, Michael Bolton, and Samir did to that printer. (Fun, but we can do better.)

Let’s take that old codger and breathe some new life into it!

Part 1 – Setup
Part 2 – Putting Your New Server to Work

Neither of these two links works. Looks like a spammer has the domain name.
