No settings for it or anything so I guess it's workin.

Yes, I was thinking of using my last PC for storage and maybe a but extra. It has 2 Hdd's and one SSD. I need to also port a few things to my new PC first.

However, I'm also not sure if I want to use it as a linux box, etc. There's a lot of options. LOL One of my Hdd's has a version of linux on it but will either need to be updated or converted to another flavor. I've been also trying to add a multi-boot on my current PC using the PC and it's drives AND a portable SSD with linux on it. So far, I've been having a bit of problems with the dual-boot part. But, I haven't really been very active about fixing it lately because of a lot of other things that need fixing first.

I run a nextcloud instance on my mini PC.
If you have a really old PC it might be worth getting something newer that is still second hand. My 2nd gen i7 uses way more power then my mini PC I think my mini PC also beats it in performance.

edit an online compare of the CPUs:

Seems to run fine right now. I'll give it a run and see what happens.

I'll give it a try. Hope I don't lose passwords and bookmarks.

That would be the lounge if your talkin about here. 

Ad Blocker ultimate and Ghostery are the two I use for FF. I thought I had more but musta not installed all of them back when I built this rig. 

The Moxee's speed is 5G, most of the time. Once in awhile it goes to 4G but not often. The price for the card is $50 for 100GB. And as I've siad, I barely go up to 30GB/month and have gone slightly above 50GB maybe twice. Yes, it's a Hotspot but it is portable and I can take it everywhere with me. If something happens to my phone, I still have high speed internet by using the Moxee. I also use it for my home internet.

For $50 I usually by 2 at a time with is usually comparable to what others pay monthly. Since I've been buying 2 at a time, I'm currently paid up until June and still have 4 cards that I haven't added yet. They do have other cards for smaller amounts. But I'd rather pay for the $50 ones.

I've never actually tried to see what mbps it uses cause I didn't need to, it's fast and I have no problems with it. I use it all day long while I'm, at work for my cell to save on data and use it at home for my PC. I run a server and have to update and move files, etc. I'm very happy with it and it suits my purposes.
