I have acquired some old pc's and parts over the years. I always wanted to do something with them but never got to it. As we all know computer parts don't age well so its about time I do something with them or sell them on craigslist. What would you do with the computers. I considerd a pfsense or ddwrt router. Also testing linux distros but now that I have hyper v on my computer i can just make vm for that. If not tell me what they could be sold for.
I was wondering Is there a distro that I could make one into a glorified chrome cast.(manage by app or web interface) Also what is the simplest open router distro?
Just realized the dell was a single core. Keep forgetting hyper threading shows up as a second core in the task manager. Ill see how many sata drives i can pull together to fill out the athlon x2.
I was thinking of that just to play around with. I was also looking at all the other firewall options and then couldn't decide because there were too many. Maybe ill try all the ones that stick out the most.
Well I got the Athlon x2 running proxmox for containers. Going to fiddle with that for a while. Thought about running a distro called rancheros but it was more complicated that I could handle.
@WhiskeyRanger@Streetguru Wow, I thought I was the only one who mounted old motherboards and graphic cards on my wall. Strange. One of the mobos I made into a light display.
