A "Retired" Server Can Cure your Computer Envy:
Do you want to a $1500, $2000, $3000 computer for under $500? Are you terminally envious of the kids next door as they whip through graphics and games on the fancy machine they bought last week? Are you tired of minimal build quality, and longing for at least one of two first-rate components in your next computer?
The truth is, you can gain a fantastic, sub-$500 machine, thumb your nose at those neighbor fledglings, and get a whole box -- a whole, big, heavy box -- full of the best components money can buy, simply by snagging a workstation or server that has been put out to pasture by an engineering or graphics company or a corporate IT group. Did I say, for cheap?

There is just too much at stake in the kinds of applications being run by the servers to take a chance on "aging" hardware. You gain by their cycle of renewal.
Fortunately, engineering/corporate IT types do not stint when they buy their hardware. In reality, most of these once high-end machines will continue to chug along many more years. If you don't mind researching a few new things -- new, that is, to consumer users -- and you don't mind adding an operating system, you can get an extremely high-powered, high quality piece of equipment for not much money.
What can you use it for?A server or workstation is just a name for computer, and you can use most of them for any home or small business task you want, including all sorts of general computing. (Note that true servers are optimized for computation, data access and distribution. These may NOT be useful for graphics or multimedia, especially if they are unde...
