I wonder if it is really worth it? It is more then likely and old cpu etc. My 
suggestion there would be just taking an offlease i7 from fleabay for less then 










































































































































































































$100 tossing max RAM in it and tossing a few big HD's then install Proxmox, and 










































































































































































































hit it with Xpenology. What the Prox mox will do is give you a base where you 
can install other things on it, like in my case I am looking to install Server 
20xx for the Fax Server and Print Server capabilities. A nice case with room 
for say 6 HD's and a board with at least 6 SATA connections would do you solid. 










































































































































































































I built one myself at one time on such hardware, I had all 6 drive bays filled 
and had only 32gigs of ram but it did the job I expected from it.

I know off topic now...

.... I know a good tagline when I steal one!
