I have an old server that was decommissioned during a systems upgrade at my office. It is old, slow, and has relatively small amount of drive space. However, for my home network it seems like a perfect opportunity for me to set it up as a back-up for the other computers on the network. It has duel power supplies and 4 drives running in Raid 5 on an Adaptec SCSI controller. So, it is redundant and should be pretty reliable. The only thing I need to make setting it up easier is a small monitor. Then I can begin reinstalling the OS. I'm thinking I'll run it from another room so it is out of sight, not to mention it is noisy with the fans from the duel power supplies.
It should be a fun project.
