Ask HN: What to do with a computer that can't connect to the network?

2 pointsby tbirrellover 6 years ago
For various reasons I'm not fully aware of, I have an older computer that won't connect to ethernet anymore (and it doesn't have a wifi card). So it effectively can't connect to the internet (or my home network). Its too old to try to fix, but before I throw it out, I wanted to know if any of you have found used for similar computers?

Load it up with Abandonware / Dos Games and use it as a retro gaming machine :D

Does it have an optical drive? Use it as an airgapped PC for signing software packages.
