No, they don't, because computers have hazardous materials in them. They go to special places where they are disposed of properly.

ha, thats what were told, they go to china, India and get melted in acids and what not to get the various metals out like gold.

@ cured: I don't think you should be saying stuff like that. You might consider editing your post.

To make a very decent file server, you don't need much over a 700MHz Celeron with 256MB of RAM. You could put on something like DSL (Damn Small Linux) or a base Gentoo install, and run it headless and without a UI (headless meaning no monitor, keyboard or mouse). Then, you could just use SSH to access the files (what I do with mine).

And either way, you could install a lightweight DE with, say, FVWM or EvilWM for the WM and have a very usable server with a UI.
