Has your computer been a little sluggish lately? Is it always crashing or freezing? If yes, you may be tempted to go out and buy a new one. But then what do you do with your old PC? Here are five ways to repurpose your old computer instead of getting rid of it.

Don’t be so quick to dump that old computer! Despite being slow and clunky, your old desktop or laptop may still add value to your business. There are many uses for old PC hardware, and here are five of them.

Network-attached storage (NAS) is a server for your small business network that lets you store files that need to be shared with all the computers on the network.
