Old PC

This is my old PC, which I’m planning on giving to my dad, as he really needs a new pc. My original plan was to use this machine as a home server, but after I played a little bit with power saving options, I decided to trash this plan, as I probably never get this machine down to a reasonable 24/7 power draw while keeping it at usable speed (I live in Germany, where power prices are crazy).

Just according to the calculation on Home-Server/Power-Tuning, resulting in 3,50 € per year per watt constant power draw, if a new machine idles at 15W less, this saves about the cost of new hardware over the next 10 years (expected time the server will run), while also bringing

• the benefit of having ECC (which is not necessary for a home server, but really recommended for ZFS which I’m using),
• providing more speed and,
• having a “new” machine for my dad.

I’m keeping the hardware on here, as this is currently still in my usage, and I also want to have this list of hardware in case I need to look something up.
