Hello self hosters,

Recently I came into possession of an old Desktop PC. Its configuration is,

Pentium D 820, 2.8 GHz dual Pentium 4 core processor, supports 64 bit.
512 DDR 333 memory
90GB HDD
no graphics card
3 PCI and 1 AGP slot

I was planning to put a ethernet card and use it as a router. It was to theown as garbage. Is what I am planning feasible or a good idea. Or it would be better as trash.
