Yeah. Turn it into an application server with DHCP then learn how to run your own network. After that, install SQL Server, VS2008, build your own e_commerce website and make lots of buck off of Punisher selling him sheep pron.
LOL Jerry. Only you could come up with that.
Ohh punisher...

Toasty is on to something. Just do it on Linux and sell Hentai to Centurus's rubber chickens. As their primary source they won't attack you and you can take over his evil empire (both rooms).
;)

So you'd be selling my rubber chickens the very thing that they produce in large quantities in their spare time to earn some pocket change? *thinks about that for a moment*

Chickens are STUPID!
I just built a new one for the sis in law, and she gave me this old Emachine to play with. It has Xp on it, and here are the stats.Dump XP Home, get a Server OS(2003, 2008,etc.), turn it into a server just to play around with(or run any game server service locally(like a BF1942 server or NWN server) for you to play on when you just don't want to deal with the lag of MP but don't want to play SP either).

*thinks he smacked SFHQ one too many times with a rubber chicken*don't worry you didn't.. I just happen to a little bit ago find the true path, divine path of worshiping the server gods. ;)

You know, that would be kinda fun having a private server. I've been a GM on a private WoW server for sometime, I might just make my own for the peeps here.
Let alone maybe a NWN server etc.
Stephen
Regular chickens are. My rubber chickens are not. MUAHAHA!!!!

I've been a GM on a private WoW server for sometime, I might just make my own for the peeps here.Think of it this way as well.. if you do a server, then all that really would be needed is to max out that RAM to 4GB of the best DDR SDRAM(or if it can take DDR2 , then go for that) and get a server OS.. then you'll have a nice little server :) .
Let alone maybe a NWN server etc.
Stephen
what will you do with a personal server?

Are you still on satellite? Wouldn't the latency be an issue?Regular chickens are. My rubber chickens are not. MUAHAHA!!!!
They have rubber brains. Ideas bounce right off. Otherwise they would think "We do all the work, Centurus claims the glory, plunder and fame" and immediately turn on you like a scene from the Birds so they could keep it all for themselves.
what will you do with a personal server?
He's going to have an online grass skirt sales site.:angel:
Upgrade some of the components already mentioned and set it up as a DVR/Media server for the whole house? Just throwing that out as it hasn't been mentioned.
What should I do with this PC?I got it, something involving fire and a catapult. :flame:
QuoteWhat should I do with this PC?I got it, something involving fire and a catapult. :flame:
Yeah, first thing I do will be to upgrade it.
Will have to wait until next month though. Then I will play with Linux MInt while locating a server OS. Might do a dual boot then.

Linux can be a server OS and some of the programs that you want might run under Wine on Linux. Some programs actually run better under Wine than on Windows.
dude.. Dracho is a Okie, Do you really thing I would be neglegent having a Ballista?
Ok, joke out of the way, I an looking forward to using Linux as a server. But I'll be honest bro, If it does nothing to help with SFC games here, I will go with windows here.
The way I see it, I owe this community so much, and If I can help in any way,well, I will do so.
