Topic
What to do with old Personal Computers
Introduction
In class, I posed the question as to what one should do with old used computers.
This is the topic I chose for my paper.
In this paper I will discuss options for the use or
disposal of old personal computers.
Body
There are many options if you have an old personal computer you would like to get
rid of.
There are many options for recycling the personal computer or even taking it apart
and recycling its parts.
If the recycling options presented do not suit your needs, disposal is
another option.
However proper disposal is important, and will be discussed in this paper.
Options for recycling include but are not limited to: learn a new operating system,
turn it into a firewall or router, make a dedicated media station, create a retro arcade, make
a game server, learn how to build a computer, strip it and sell the parts, or even donate it.
One could download Linux to their old computer to learn how Linux works.
You could turn
your old personal computer into a firewall or router for other systems on the network.
One
could turn an old personal computer into a dedicated media station, where the personal
computers purpose only deals with media files.
You could download old arcade game or
any games
onto your personal computer and create a game station.
