Over the past few years ive gotten desktops from various smaller thrift stores but not i feel like i have too many and im not sure what to so with them? Do i save them and turn them into a bugger project? Do i make a nas out of one of them? Im stumped theres so many things to do with a pc that i dont know where to start, or if this is even the right place to post in?

I pretty much saved theses from e-waste and scalpers but most of the machines are devices nobody wants or has a issue.

    Some ideas:

    • webserver (e.g. for a little personal website, maybe even host some fediverse things)
    • irc
    • weather monitor
    • distro tester
    • local LLM ~(they’re getting more and more efficient)~

    If you’ve several of similar performance, you could:

    • host lan parties, for classic games. Maybe some Quake, OpenTTD, Luanti
