So, I Got This Server...

[Jimbo]

I have a server that I built about a year ago for a specific purpose. I no longer need it for what I built it for, so I wondering what to do with it.
Here are the specs:
Dual 1GHz Pentium III Processors
1 GB of SDRAM
1 16 Gig SCSI X-15 Hard drive
Intel MotherBoard GX Chipset
Additional NIC

Any ideas?

Give it to me.

Well, excepting the "give it to me" response that I'd like to give, I'd sell it. You can put it up here, or you could try E-Bay or some similar service.

You could also donate it to a school.

i got in on that gateway 6400 deal, i use that server a lot, for media encodeing, file servivg, web servivg, sql server, and vpn server use it for whatever

I tried to sell it about a month ago for $1,200. No takers here. I think I have about $3,000 or so into the thing so I was wondering if there was another use I could put it to. I guess I could donate it, and take some massive deduction, but I actually wanted to use it for something.

????????

This is not a Gateway, I built it.

having pretty much the same setup, why don't you do some a/v stuff. rip and encode movies etc. . . . Possibly an overpowered server, to hold tons of hd's

Possible. I have never done anything like that before. What would I need to know? What kind of "pipe" would I need?

depends how many people you want to host......with a 15K a sec upload i host a Q3 4 player server all the time with no lag at all.....i have the verizon 768/128 dsl plan.
