There’s really no proper “best” use case for an old computer. It really depends on your case.
How?
Well, let’s say you already have a media center (such as an apple tv, android tv, etc...), then there’s really no point in turning your old computer into a media center as you already have one.
Similarly, using at as a NAS might be pointless to many people. I personally prefer cloud storage over something local, so running a NAS on my local network would be a complete waste of time and resources in my case (and I’m sure im not the only one). I have an iCloud storage plan which works perfectly and is hella fast and reliable... not to mention that it’s accessible from everywhere.
So on so fourth.... it really depends on what you actually lack/need which the computer might be able to provide.
If you can’t think of something out of the top of your head to turn your old computer into, then you more than likely dont need anything that the old computer can provide. So don’t bother wasting your time on something you’ll never use in that case.
In that case, you’re better off just setting it aside and admiring all the great times you two had together... then move on.
I also like the idea of donating it to those who are less fortunate... they will for sure make much better use of it than you would! Great idea @tryp4vps

Thank you Post4VPS and VirMach for providing me with VPS9! But now it’s time to say farewell due to my studies.
