    I’ve got one and I think I might make it into an end table.

    Heh, it’s a space heater so place it accordingly.

    But it could be a box for self hosting… well, whatever you want that is lightweight.

      Would love to, but I need the right cables to show anything up on a screen. Tried what I got, but need to get some VGA cables and a compatible monitor. It runs, just can’t tell what’s going on with it

    I was going to suggest building a NAS, but a 7yo enterprise desktop can rival this thing in almost all features.

    A modern laptop would probably outperform it for 1/20th the power. We had some of these at work and they’re DIRE. Outside of purely fucking around there’s nothing it’s good for.
