Hello I found an old pc for 60 dollars the specs are : Can it run NAS and Minecraft server ASUS GT 1030 2GB core 2 quad q9550 2.83GHZ Ram 8 GB 500 GB
I’ve thrown out my Q6600 in 2020 and that was more than overdue. Deploying any Core 2 doesn’t make sense in 2023 since you can get haswell and newer generations fully built (office PCs) for < 50 €.
Yes it could, however the TDP on that chip is 95 watts. Depending on where you live that will cost you at-least $10 a month in power, probably more.
However you can find HP G3 EliteDesk 800 on ebay for $90 that will run circles around that computer and take less power. Take a look at this video to see how.
That’s the kinda PC you get given for free not the type you pay money for.
The system is not the worst deal in the world if you can sell that GT 1030 for $40. It will run a Minecraft server and a NAS. This is a great option if your electric is free, it will be a power hog
That is ancient and will use a lot of power.
Unless you like to throw money away, this is a way more capable machine for around the same price.
