Okay, at work I got given an old IBM NetVista Server. Old, but really nice. Here is the rundown...(Now I KNOW this isn't directly related to PowerMac...but..):

2 Pentium 3 800mhz processors
1GB PC133 Memory
5 SCSI 9GB HDD's
USB, Dual Ethernet, and all those other useless ports

What would be the best thing to use this for? A web server was my idea, like...a scsi raid, windows 2000 server...could be cool for hosting cheap local websites or storage space. (Not much, but meh).

Thanks! Byes

Given the fairly high memory and the nice (though small by modern standards) RAID setup, a database server (mysql or something) comes to mind. Or a web or mail server. I would suggest Linux over Win2K though.

Webserver would be cool. Not a bad little computer.
