Howdy, Most small/free solutions are dumping them in a spreadsheet.

Howdy, The laptop you have includes integrated graphics, not too capable. You'd probably exceed your budget by a lot with another laptop that has a reasonable dedicated graphics module as you don't really start picking up performance until the $700-800 mark in my opinion. You could probably...

Howdy, With that list of requirements sort by highest price.

If you're worried about wearing out other USB ports you can always use an extension and plug stuff into that, when it wears out it's just a cable replacement. Logistically this doesn't make much sense, if you had a wired dongle you could just put it on a hub near the monitor, if it was a wired...

You don't see people using Pentium 2's anymore, yet they also paid thousands of dollars at launch.

A common question, not really much value in it logistically unless you have a coordinated angle like folding@home

I mean same thing as here https://www.computerforum.com/threads/remotely-switch-ip-providers.249905/

VPN doesn't really mean 'go sign up for PrivateInternetAccess' or whatever provider. If you didn't set something up before you left or have some kind of backdoor like Teamviewer to an internal PC then you're probably out of luck. I'd use something like wireguard, but depends on what equipment...

Eh, look up some hashcat benchmarks, even a single 6900XT can pump out >10x hash rate on most algorithms over a 470.

Eh, you'd probably be better off cannibalizing the cards. 4GB 470s are pretty anemic and lack VRAM for a lot of tasks.

Depending on your WAN edge on either side just VPN.

You could probably SFTP/SCP to whatever Windows daemon you want. If it was Linux it'd be enabled by default. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse?tabs=gui You could also do something like lock out Samba/SMB to be RFC1918 only, set up...

If you're really desperate you could probably put a pcie usb card in there if the controllers actually RIP'd, would depend if the BIOS supports that or not. Otherwise unless it's a sentimental piece or you want it to be in a museum it's probably not worth the effort. If the spec sheet says...

Per the other thread I'd just dump the array from the configuration in the controller and make a new one.

If there's functional storage on it you could install Ubuntu if you wanted, even if the drive doesn't work you could use the LiveUSB to boot into a working environment. Those have SAS controllers which also support SATA drives. The controller should give you a keystroke combination at boot...

I'd proxmox it personally. If you want to use it for a desktop then there's better options.

$175 seems like a lot for hardware that's over ten years old.

I'd just buy cheap and upgrade the drive yourself, the money you save in dollars you make up for in effort. You could also just clone the drive. Or just add one and save crap to D: or similar. This side of the ocean even a $180 microcenter refurb special contains a 1TB SSD and 32G RAM...

Why are you chained to mechanical? You could always just buy a mechanical drive. I don't really understand why it has to be a specific bundle when you can just buy the thing. The only spinners I buy anymore are ~$15 3TB SAS drives as a cheap raid6 option as a retirement home for drives that...
