I'm messing around with a 'new' computer I ended up with a little while ago. I'm not sure what I want to do with it yet.
On the left is my desktop. In the middle is the web server. And on the right is the new machine.
It's not as good as my desktop. But for an older machine, it's pretty solid. It's also a full tower with tons of space, unlike any of my other computers.
A couple of options:
I could replace the web server with this new machine. It's almost twice as fast, has 3X the L1 cache, has an L3 cache, has way more RAM and way faster RAM (not shown on image). It also has 6 hard drive slots, which would greatly simplify backups (among other things). In contrast, the web server has 1 hard drive slot, and has a secondary drive sitting loose in the CD drive tray.
or, I could use this new computer as a supplemental network machine. use its many drive slots as a NAS for backups to replace the current system, and use its added power/memory for other custom applications in the future.
