Hey guys,
I picked up a used (very good condition) Compaq Presario SR5433WM for the total of $40. I think is was a good deal.

I want to use it as a Nas,but I'm not sure if it's too much,not enough,etc. I wasn't expecting much when I got it,but I'm surprised as to what I actually got. You can check the specs in the link and I have gotten some of the basic info from it also.
1.Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2160@1.8ghz
2.64 Bit Win 7 Pro (Upgraded)
3.2gb Ram
4.Ati Radeon HD 2600XT Video Card (Upgraded)
5. Realtek RT8101E Pci-E Fast ethernet nic
6.Seagate Barracuda 7200
7.Msi Boston MB,Intel Chipset,Southbridge Intel 82801
I know that the network cards needs to be replaced and possibly more ram. I am thinking about getting a couple of new hard drives because I don't want to wipe the current one since it has Win 7 pro on it.
So,what do you think? Upgrades,recommendations,etc.
