Hi /g/. I have dozens of old computers, mostly with Pentium- Pentium 4 processors. I want to do something useful with them. I was thinking setting them up to seed torrents. What else can I do with them?

Sell them as libre biit machine 200 a pop

I can't tell how serious you are, I'm a visiting /k/ommando

U can't do anything useful with a P4 without wasting energy. so trash them all.
Install a Linux distro and use them for whatever the fuck you want.
You'll probably be better off with a seedbox since p4 based machines are not very power efficient.

Like?
Do science with Eureqa or some other genetic algorithm system to find correlations. Or run a slow home server

Thanks I'll look into it
Pretty much nothing, you can host seedboxes and servers much more efficently on a cheap ARM board like any AllWinner based ones (CubieBoard for example), which use about 5W + HDD.

Use them as backup servers and folding machines (Folding@Home).

Those are very power inefficient, just dump them on ebay for a couple bucks or something.
