Ummh... any old and slow second-hand PC running samba?


I've got one of those (6 years). Actually, that's not that old, I guess.

Unfortunately, one of my criteria is that I be able to backup to external USB hard drive. This thing's only got USB 1.1, so it takes a while.

I would put a USB 2.0 card in it, but that makes my 3ware RAID card stop working, which kind of defeats the point of having it...

And I can't find a modern motherboard that'll take the 900MHz Athlon CPU that's in it currently, so that's a whole round of upgrades to go through. After all, if I'm going to upgrade anyway, I might as well get Gigabit ethernet, and maybe external SATA, and I might as well get some future proofing by going to Socket 939...
