Something that has always bothered me is people throwing away their old PC's, I see it all the time, "I bought a computer 2 years ago, It was starting to go slow and laggy, so I dumped it and got this new one", Doesn't that line just make your teeth hurt and your toes cringe? It does for me!, Any time I can stop this happening I do, if a friend or relative is throwing away an old computer, I'll take it off their hands and refurbish it, they make great servers! I have often ended up with P4's and even core 2 duo machines, that where going to end up in the skip if I didn't take them!

Back to when I said they make great servers...All the old PC's from my own home and friends/relatives have provided me with the perfect server set-up!, I have a server room full with a cluster of old PC's running as web/mail/DNS/Proxy servers....you name it!, All free! And they're not bad machines, Oldest one is a Pentium 3. In fact it's that server set-up that runs this site, and all my other ones.
