Abstract: Disposing the old computer parts to the environment, the toxic chemicals from the hardware mix-up with soil and makes the solid water poisonous. Most of the computers which are made up of a mix of toxic chemicals like lead, mercury, cadmium and similar materials are very much harmful to the environment when they are thrown to the environment without proper disposal. With the rapidly growing number of PCs and different electronics regularly filling landfill regions, any chance to drag out the lifecycle of these components ought to be taken. This paper aims at using such old computing parts which are usable for computations. Also, instead of using heavy PC on the client side, a replacement of thin PC and then client PC will reduce the hardware elements also the power consumption of these machine. Also there is a high demand of computing power in research projects which takes hours of time to produce results. A low scale compute cluster made upon this reusable computer serves this need also. This compute clusters are provided as a virtual server over a private cloud.
Keywords: Green Computing, Cluster, PC-Reuse, Virtual Cluster.
