Any Ideas for a site or other use for my server? by .blade// on 06-18-2004 at 05:14 PM
Well about 5 months ago, my friend and myself put together some left-over computer parts and installer a (cracked) copy of Windows Server 2003, which I have decided to delete and replace with a copy of Windows 2000 running the Apache Web Server. The spec.s of the server are:
Intel SCeleron 733 mhz Processor
384 MB of Ram (not sure the type)
24x CD-RW/42x CD Reader
10 GB HD (wow...big isn't it? 
)
16mb ATI Radeon Video Card with integrated coolant system
I have had several ideas which I later decided against...do you guys have any LEGITIMATE ideas...I could even rent it out if you guys want to rent it from me, it would be cheap 
Right now it's just sitting there...it's not even plugged in....I have a firewall and everything for it too
Edit: Here's a picture...don't you feel sorry for it? Sure it's a bit older, but no server deservers this...it should be hosting data for millions to see.....()

Personally I'd use Linux Redhat over a Windows 2000 that's running the Apache Web Server...The windows server 2003 can be dodgy if it's cracked, with hackers mainly...

Well I would prefer to keep it on the Windows side for compatibility because when it's not in use I would like to have it as a secondary PC....I am planning on buying a 19" LCD monitor in the fall, so the one I'm using can go over to the server, along with my old mouse and some random keyboard I can get for, what, $10 or $20

Well I guess I COULD do that, but it seems like a big waist of a server just to have that on it....if I don't think of anything else, then maybe
...but considering I don't have CS then someone would have to give me a valid, not-in-use CD-Key

A host for all the plugins for Plus! 3.
Perhaps that way there will be a up to date, organised database. Nothing against you guys...
