How old are we talking about? Can you slap an old Windows on it and use it for retrogaming?

Who says you can't build something new with it?
I reused parts from my HP prebuilt when assembling the computer I daily drive today.
@camedei456 @alyx ah yes, "just upgrade it lol" reply.

The problem is, nobody needs this PC. Even if I upgrade it, I doubt my parents will use it, and I don't visit them too often.
@camedei456 @alyx it's old because I left this house and have other computers I bought after. Not because it's _old_.

@camedei456 @a1ba
The trendy thing is to reuse old PCs as file servers, or something similar. Thing is, it'd be a good idea to test out power usage, and see if it wouldn't be cheaper in the long run to buy a Raspberry for something like that.

@a1ba
Can you get XP drivers for it? Make it an XP system? Might be better for some old games.
