Most of of probably have an old pc in their home. And if it still works and has decent hardware there are still few uses that i could think of.Â
1. Media Center -Using Kodi you can turn your telly into smart one. Kodi does not have high system requirements and has lot of useful plugins such as YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and more. (You can use OpenELEC with has more apps and can be installed directly).
2. Emulation machine- using RetroArch or standalone emulators you can use your PC to run retro games.
3. File Server- If your pc has large hard disk, using it as a file server is a good option. With software such as FreeNAS or FileZilla server you can turn you old machine into file server in few minutes.
4. Game Server -You can turn your machine into a Minecraft or any other game server for private or public playing.
5. Web Server- With Linux HTTP server or IIS you can host your own website with even your own domain.
6. WiFi Router - using Pfsense you can have your very own custom WiFi router with more security.
