I have finally retired my Asus TSMINI WHSv1 server I have removed all my externals from it and connected them to my WSE2012 box and added them to my StableBit DrivePool (Pool is now 21.4TB 7TB free). So what else can I do with it? It is 86x architecture so no modern server software can be installed it is designed to be headless so I figured I can't just install any OS on it (There is an actual VGA port underneath of the case but I have no idea if it would function if I was to expose it by modifiying the case plus unsure if it would be hard to find functioning drivers also with 1GB of RAM I would basically be stuck running XP or having performance issues. Could I use a plugable usb display adapter to add a monitor to this or would that not work during the install of the new OS. Can I instead configure WHSv1 to function as a FTP server or maybe something along those lines (basically giving it new jobs to do)
