Ok so i have posted a couple of topics on how i totaly messed up a load and now im not sure what to do here really, so i have made this new topic on what you guys think i should do now, with a max budget of about $40-$45.

if you want to reald all the things on how i messed up look at my previus posts but heres were im at right now.

i have a 50 port switch thats totaly locked and wont do anything when i try to access it with PuTTY or Terra Term

i have an old ass server with a pentium 4 in it that wont take any modern graphics card

i have a Geforce 8800GT that wont fit in the server

i have a posibly damaged motherboard that WILL take my graphics card, has SATA and all that

and my gaming PC.

things i have thought of doing but im not sure about:

getting a processor that fitts that posibly broken mobo and doing something with it like a small NAS or something

getting a graphics card that fitts the server and doing something with that

throwing everything out the window and scream

getting a new motherboard for my gaming PC so i can run the 8800GT as a PhysX card or some thing like that(honestly probably worse then what i have now)

there are some problems with all of those so if anyone has any better ideas on what to do for $40-$45 then please tell me because i dont know and i want to do something with something of this

thanks for any replies and any help i guess, please dont sugest getting a 850 series SSD or something, i cant be bothered to reinsall windows 10 right now so im not going to

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is ~~play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally)~~ ~~watch YT and write essays...~~ nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life.

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
