retro machine that runs native xp , which is apparently going to be a rare thing pretty soon. 

it would be nice to just have a machine that always works and is meant for computing tasks as opposed to our "windows 10 needs to upload your nudes to the nsa today" method we're currently enjoying from microsoft.

It runs Windows 10 64-bit just fine.

I have a motherboard/cpu/ram combo from very old system:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2C2T@2.11GHz

Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2 (Nvidia Nforce 405 /Geforce 6100 chipset)
2x AMD only DDR2 4GB sticks (max supported 8GB)

has:
4 USB 1.1/2.0 ports

2 PS/2 ports

Realtek audio

Realtek 10/100 Lan

1 PCIE 16X slot

1 PCIE 1x slot

2 PCI slots

2 DIMM Slots

Google the model number for more info

What can I do with it other than recycling it?

P.S. I have an AMD stock cooler on hand.

well that's what i get for not googling the difference between the "a" and "plus". just put a rig together last night with the plus, and it had raid support, and i guessed that'd be the same. 

yeah, software raid or a RAID card would be what you'd need then. don't write off the raid card instantly though, sometimes you can get em super cheap from companies selling off old stuff. Hell, i got a quad intel gigabit NIC for like 30 bucks last year. freaking great.

I can get an LSI 9260-8i for like 15% of the MSRP BRAND NEW

but there aren't any PCI-E slots on the board (except the one with the GTX 1050) that would fit the RAID card.

I just want to run RAID 1

Even Linus was using software RAID to stripe his RAID 5 arrays together

Yep, you're all good. Assuming you also have the power cables. In fact, you should be able to RAID them on that board as well if you want, so you're all set. Just make sure to set the SATA controller mode in the BIOS to RAID from AHCI if you plan to do that.

Motherboard doesn't support RAID according to the ASUS website

I can use software RAID in windows though

Well Technically you can

CHEAP FRIKIN' INTERNET!!

about $35 for 100/40 

I'll go with the HGST drive because it is freaking cheaper.

Granted you have the space and cables to do it, yes, it will work. 

I have tonnes of SATA cables laying around

I have a PC with the following components.

ASUS Prime B250M-A

intel Core i3-7100
intel stock cooler

8GB of Crucial DDR4-2400

Windows 10 PRO

GALAX GTX 1050

Kingston 128GB M.2 SSD

Hitachi 250GB 7200rpm Hard drive

EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze Non Modular Power Supply

Fractal Design Node 605

Sony Blu-ray Optical drive

2 Noctua NF-F12 ippc 3000RPM fans

I want to add 2 H3IKNAS600012872SWW HGST 6TB Drives to double it as a nas

Will it work?
Local Network Speed: 1Gbps connected with a Netgear GS308 8 port switch

8+ is too expensive for me

I said 8 or razer phone is because they are priced similarly in my country.

I don't know if I should get a Razer phone or an IPhone 8.

I'm pretty sure it runs on an ARM CPU, so only Windows 10S with custom Kernels.  Which sucks.

Microsoft and Quallcomm got the full-fat windows 10 running on a snapdragon 835 (which is an ARM CPU) with programs designed for x86 working fine

And task manager shows that the program "system" using up the most cpu resources at idle.

Is that because of the Meltdown fix?

I never had this problem until I updated 2 days ago.

And the CPU of another computer (Core i3-7100) with all of these programs wasn't even hitting 10% at idle on any of the cores.

One of the threads on my laptop is always pinned even at idle.

I know the screenshot of task manager is in Chinese.

I've had 3 drives die on me so far

1 Seagate 500GB in a laptop (2010~2014)

1 Seagate 2TB SSHD in an external enclosure (2014~2016)

1 Hitachi Deskstar 500GB in an external enclosure (2007~2016)

All of the WD drives I own are all fairly new with the oldest one manufactured in 2013.

I'm looking for a model of 6TB Drives for my new nas (RAID 1)
Help me choose a model from below
 

1.HGST Deskstar NAS H3IKNAS600012872SWW 

     7200RPM

     128MB cache

     3 year warranty

2.Seagate Ironwolf ST6000VN0033

     7200RPM

3.WD Red WD60EFRX

     5400RPM
