Set up my old PC as standalone

First I need to disentangle and transfer old email, ftp and news accounts whilst I can easily go online with it.

Then move it to the new location.

Advantages:

easier access to some PC only programs, such as Picasa, ACDSee and Paintshop.

Somewhere to work with a change of scenery and without Internet distractions.

File transfer can be by pendrive and USB HD.
