So I have this old windows vista home basic computer and was wondering if its worth keeping/upgrading or parting out anything useful. The specs of this computer are here. The computer is called the "Acer aspire t180" 

I just literally want to know if its just a piece of trash or only halfway a piece of trash. 

 

Thanks guys,

Turn it into a little home server, there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube (I've got a pretty good one on my channel :P )

You could sell the system off as an Internet Browsing machine, or alternatively canibalise the HDD into your own system.

Plus the stock heatsinks on those machines make great paperweights.
