Old pc what to do?

[Propphet]

So i found an old system that i got gifted by a friend, its an HP Compaq CQ2100NL from 2010 and it has:

 

1 gb ram

1 core on 1.6 ghz

2 wifi antennas

250 gb hdd

passive cooled cpu with 1 case fan and 4 usb poort with an vga onboard output

 

This is the last and weakest pc that i got that i need a use for. I tought about an outside temperture meter but than the pc may die fast, also though about nas but i just got a new one and this only has a 100 mbps poort.

Any suggestions?

There isn't much you can do with that pc with those specs, you could format the hard drive and use it as an external drive for a ps4 or xbox ( if you have one )or maybe in your pc ? other than the hard drive rest of the specs are really poor! you could try and upgrade it or as a project out of interest? You have a decent pc now with a 4820k so using it as your main pc isn't much of an option.

That hard drive is most likely IDE

if @mrbilky is correct then donating it or just throwing it away would be the best option.Those specs are very poor in 2018

Just a "project" got a few hours to spend and this is where my eye fell on. Thanks for the hard drive idea imma make a clonezilla box from it to easy clone and backup drives.

Just make sure you do it on company time so you can collect comp if you injure yourself
