I have no idea if this is doable, practical, advisable, etc...
I have the mobo, the GPU, the RAM, the PSU of my prior desktop. Everything but drives and the case. The mobo is a Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3.
Is there any way I could put this all in a simple case, run it on my home network to act as a video and music server and possibly even a seedbox?
Or is this system, regardless of its age, more processing power than something like this needs? We own a larger apartment now than we used to live in and this system could literally live in another room out of the way so I wondered before I sell off this old system on ebay if anyone had ever done this before or if there were perhaps more elegant, simpler solutions for the same thing with a tiny Rpi or something (I also have an extra one of those).
Thank you!
