Recycling Tip: Old Servers can get new homes

The last few months have been 'industrious' for me, taking bits of PCs and putting together boxes that work out of older ones that don't. A friend of mine who's involved with IT at a prominent firm locally now got me hooked on it.

I now have three computers networked in my living room I wouldn't have otherwise.

Years ago it would have required hard wiring and physical boxes to connect together a industrial computer. Now with open source communities more available, I'm able to use software solutions.

And I don't owe Microsoft anything. What's in your bag of tricks?
