    What to do with extra servers

    I've got some extra servers, what to do with them?
    Server 1:
    4U rackmount, AMD dual core athlon 64x2 2.2ghz, 2gb, 2x250gb sata with raid (can do raid 0 or raid 1)
    Server 2:
    1U rackmount, Amd dual core somethng, 2gb, 3x36gb wd raptor sata + 1tb seagate sata... the raptors are in striped raid, the 1tb is in no raid
    server 3 (not built yet)
    unknown case, p4ht 3.2, 2gb, unknown hdd
    server 4
    2u rackmount, p4 2.6ghz, 1gb, 40gb hdd

    Any suggestions welcome, I don't think they're at all worth colo'ing

          Id say strip them down for pars and sell whatever you can, and what you can't giveaway here on badcaps to members that need it.

                  Erm, I should have phrased it as "what can I do"...

                  I'll show you in pictures why I don't need more desktop computers...

                      those first 2 servers listed would run anything you'd throw at it.....so use them. If you have no use for them, then part with them.

                                      This too. I tend to always give away retired servers and other useful computer hardware I have no use for.....

                                          I thinking about some central LAN file server, on where I can put some files from other devices, or access to them, and maybe play some movie without download...

                                          I never study this, but when I see that freenas need few gigabyte of ram to recommended working, some wiered partition, I wonder if I miss somewhat in the midletime...
                                          Also exist "turnkey file server", and other turnkey products that I can not distinguished what is major difference and how it perform - no experiance at all.

                                          Hello, please how to properly configure VPN in this environment?
                                          I have two subnets in two different (geographical) workplaces, connected via IPsec (thru gateway routers)
                                          Main subnet: 192.168.11.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.11.1, Windows 2016 server (VPN, DHCP, DC etc.) 192.168.11.3
                                          2nd subnet : 192.168.22.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.22.1 - just client computers.

                                          I need to allow external (home office) users connect via VPN server (192.168.11.3) to the 2nd subnet (192.168.22.0/24) to their computers (via RDP).
                                          I have no problems with VPN connection...
