Not a good idea if you're paying for your electricity.
>tfw your old computer has a dying hard drive so it wouldn't make a good server

>still have yet to set it up
>bought a completely new desktop as well
>could've used the old desktop as file server without wasting the money to begin with
maybe I'll be able to sell my old desktop for a reasonable price, but I somewhat doubt it (i5-760, 16G ddr3, gtx 560, fractal r3)
