I recently decided to upgrade the hard drive in one of my older servers from an 8Gb Western Digital Caviar from '99 to a faster 80 Gb Seagate Barricuda, and this leaves me with a fairly useless low capacity drive.

Any ideas on what to do with it?

Take it apart, and nail the discs on your wall. Geek art.

I was thinking something more functional.

By a case for it and somehow turn it into a usb drive. But it would be the hugest usb drive ever.

I was thinking maybe an external hard drive, but I would be better off buying another 80 Gb drive for $40, and using that.

But if I did that, I would buy the same drive and set up a raid system instead.

Make speakers.

lol I think I still have some 600mb hard drives in my garage.

I mean, its 8gb, and you probably have enough external, and internal storage already. I cant think of anything practical to do.
how to

How are you supposed to turn an internal hard drive into speakers?

Use your imagination.

How inconvenient.

I've seen it done, but it always ends up sounding like crap.

Also, that server originally had a 650 Mb hard drive, until I got it about two years ago. I got the drive out of another old computer that was almost completely dead.

Whats the point of a server with 650 mb? You could only store like 300 photos.

I don't know, I stuck the 8 Gb drive in it as soon as I got it.

Edit:

It also had 32 Mb RAM when I got it, but I upgraded that quick.

What do you use it for?

It's mainly Ventrilo, but it's also a backup web server.

throw it away.

Can't do that, I'm a packrat.

put like 4 porn videos in it

not much you can do with it.
