Is there any hope/usage for my rusty old computer ? [AM3]

[IIx]

Hello everyone,

my system is already 7 years old and I was wondering if you maybe know which alternatives i possibly have - to keep things short >
PC-Spec.:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
GPU: AMD 7950 / R200
MB: ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
RAM: 8 GB Kingston HyperX, DDR3-1600
SSD: 2 TB, 500 GB, 500 GB

It's pretty clear that i am far too late to even think about mining btc/eth but maybe another crypto to think about ?
BURST or ETN  maybe ?

You should ask someone skilled in the field.
Pleasa visit at this board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0
You can get some lessons about minimum hardware/software specific to start minging.

You can mine other cryptos.
Personally I use BOINC software - it helps in calculation in scientific projects and rewards you with Gridcoin
Also Gridcoin is one of my favorite cryptos. I feel that my computer's power is not wasted, but helps science a bit (even though I didn't get big amount of Gridcoins)
To know more about this coin you can check http://www.gridcoin.us/

As an option you can mine other cryptos just by downloading wallet and mining with CPU, i.e. Karbo
I mined it a bit, but of course don't expect to mine a lot

My computer is older than yours and my specs are a lot less qualified than yours. I'm still using it very happily. I guess your old computer needs some love and care, it has served a lot of time and if it's still be any use then give it to someone who will be benefited by getting this machine.

I'd put Linux on it, and run a full node. Then you can collect all the freebies from the coin forks.

You can simply exchange the useful working parts with new ones and be paying some extra fee. You will get the advanced parts cheaper, and you can turn your PC into a miner or into anything you like!  How about that idea? Otherwise, if you don't wanna use it for mining or for playing 'tough' games, you can just keep it and use it for usual staff, like Facebook, email, bitcointalk, reddit, microsoft office, etc.
