I have two extra PC’s that I don’t know what to do with! My setup right now is just my Windows Home Server and my wife’s laptop. I only do downloading on my home server an nothing else.
My first extra PC is an Intel P4 HT @ 3.0 Ghz with 768MB of RAM. It doest have much in the way of video and it only has a 30 GB hard drive that I had laying around.
My other PC is an IBM workstation that has dual P4 Xeon processors with 1 GB of RAMBUS. I have not used it much because it really don’t know what purpose I would use it for… I loaded Server 2003 for learning purposes since I was taking server classes in school. The problem is I don’t have a static IP and I don’t really trust those dynamic update services.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do?
Should I try and maybe use one as a firewall and the other as some sort of server?
My goal is to have a pretty crazy home network that I can tinker with and learn on to get ahead of the game in my schooling.
Again, any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
