Right now I'm bringing my old Dell Studio 540 back from the dead, gonna install Linux/GNU Mint on there.
Might get a new GPU, but old one worked for the longest time.
What are you guys working on/Frankensteining?

I have a Dell Precision M6300 that I use as a management console and some light testing on.
C2D T7600
4GB DDR2-667
Quadro FX1600M
250GB SSD
17" 1920x1200
Docking station
Used to use it as a KVM console for a KVM over IP unit that I had.
And still does the occasional DX9 game just fine.

other thread, is it still a good idea to use the ram I mentioned?
Or just to get new ram?
Stuff on Ebay's gettin a bit pricey, but it looks good.
Anyone else restorin' shit tonight?

Today I'm getting a c2d with 4 GB of RAM from a friend. Need to put some GPU and PSU in it.
Still not sure what I will use it for.

Nice!
Bet you could use it for some kind of file mangement or something along that line, know I'm setting mine up for a server in the house.
>>56386073
Yeah, I'm thinking the same. Server or firewall, who knows ! That's the fun in it I guess
>>56386141
Ooh, I just got an even better idea!
I'll make my old rig into a proxy server!
>>56386353
Pretty cool, how will you set it up?

That's the thing, I'll probably use a different distro for servers etc, but it'll be a good learning experience in how to setup a server.
