What do you mean by 5 months and nothing? Have you tried installing linux server or freenas on it? What are the specs on that old PC?

At 200 dollars you don't have many new options, check calgarycomputerwholesale on ebay and buy brand new hard drives to go with it.

A core 2 duo would run Linux just fine. Set up some shares and you are good to go.
