Per title, I’m going to use an Optiplex 790 that’s been collecting dust in my room, with a lightweight OS and hopefully an SSD

BUT CAN IT RUN TF2?

    Not sure how good it would be for running TF2. You could, however, turn it into a presonal server for your files.

      Yeah there was someone else who suggested similarly, though friends have advised to ditch the thing altogether lol

      But yeah, it’ll mostly be a glorified file server but with a few games on the side if I’m lucky and the hardware somehow proves capable

        If it isnt powerful enough for games, you could slap on TrueNAS, though you’d have to have another drive for the data.

    Try downloading it and playing it, it ran with my laptop with a dual core i5-4210U with iGPU but very choppy.
