What can I make out of a Old Pentium D desktop? (self.homelab)

Hello homelabbers,

Recently I came into possession of an old Desktop PC. Its configuration is,

  • Pentium D 820, 2.8 GHz dual Pentium 4 core processor, supports 64 bit.
  • 512 DDR 333 memory
  • 90GB HDD
  • no graphics card
  • 3 PCI and 1 AGP slot

I was planning to put a ethernet card and use it as a router. It was to theown as garbage. Is what I am planning feasible or a good idea. Or it would be better as trash.

Code is code -- if it's compiled for the CPU and you have the libraries then it will work. The question is why? That hardware is ancient and will get destroyed by SBPCs that will pay for themselves in a few months of electric bills.
