Welcome to the homelab, gorgeous.

Let's see what you can do.

Still works! I don't know what else it would be worth using it for other than a nostalgia machine.

Has worse stats than a Raspberry Pi and consumes 4x the power.

Guess I could run old Windows 😜 games on it.

@box464 Jeez you weren't kidding when I saw it had an Intel Atom, have you considered getting an old quadcare CPU like the i3? Cause from my personal experience I can tell that 😜 on an i3 runs lightning fast.

I **could** make this machine into something useful like an extra Pi-Hole or a Node Exporter. But it's so clunky and large compared to my other mini-pcs.

I'm thinking of going this route - a retro gaming PC. My nieces might have fun with it (or my brothers, more likely)

@box464 Is that an Acer Revo 3610?

That thing is ancient, though admittedly it had the best Atom setup: the 330 variant with an NVIDIA Ion chipset.

Removing the hard drive is... A colossal pain, to put it mildly.

I actually still have one in storage 😝
