Question and Answers

What can I use an old computer for? - Kind of a general question, but I can acquire some parts for next to nothing, the only real question is, is it worth the electricity and space? I already have a LAN. I already have a 2.2TB Fileserver with a dual core opteron I use a cisco 3660 router (not really needing of a linux replacement). I'm just wondering for what use this thing could potentially be. I was thinking a CallManager server, any idea on the minimum system requirements? Any other ideas?
