@sun What specs?
@hfaust dual 2.5Ghz i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 500GB spinning disk drive
@sun I've seen people use them as Linux machines but it could work as a small server.
@hfaust yeah it would work. I also have a decent celeron laptop here. I'm lugging this shit back to japan I guess

I have an outrageous amount of tech that I will never use again but don't want to just toss. On the rare occasion something leaves, it turns out to be the thing I think about using. But I should still get rid of it, most of it is nostalgia and if I ever really did try to bring back up the now-long-gone dual Pentium Pro Tyan board 1: I do not have old ISA or SCSI drives that work for it and 2: ain't no way I'll be happier with that 128MB RAM setup than I would be with a Raspberry Pi doing the same job.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
