I guess it depends, really, it's probably a really optimistic estimate.. but I do own some old systems and the RTC clock is still mostly accurate, replacing them regularly would help reduce network load from NTP.

The clocks on traditional computers aren't really that accurate anyway, but if you're going to start using obsolete computers (..like I do), it's the least you can do to prolong their usefulness.
