I would kill to have 8 GB of RAM. Also, your dad has the right idea, if the new one isn't likely to break, just convert the old one into a server.

Save the laptop for use as a dedicated music jukebox.
Rip any CDs you have and keep all your music there.
Yes, it's bigger than an iPod and not quite as portable,
but an iPod can't rip tunes from other sources like a computer can.
Also, saving the old desktop as a backup is a good idea.
That's what I did with the one before what I'm using now

There's no way in **** that you will need 8GB of RAM... The ONLY way you will use this all is if your running like 10 copies of hl2 at the same time!
Anyway bamf, if you have no use for these you will easily be able to sell them all 2nd hand on ebay for a decent price easy.

I wouldn't bother trying to make it into a game server btw, i highly doubt your bandwidth would be able to support more than about 6 players even then you will barely be able to do anything.

You could make it into a "local" server for LAN parties.
A friend or 2 come over with there laptops.
It could also be useful as a primary internet gateway server.
Like a hardware firewall

I got a max of 250gb data usage per month.My upload speed is 5mbp. Would it kill my internet? If i ran like 24 players?

Sell it for a new hobby.
Other than that, donate it to a cause. Plenty of people out there that "Actually," need technology.
