Don't underestimate the value of older hardware as it can be used for network infrastructure needs
(routers, local DNS server, DHCP, NTP, Snort, etc.), or potentially local file servers. Of course, just having spare boxes available for installing new releases, testing, is never a bad thing. Extra hardware gives you options you may not have had before.
Personally, I use Ultra 10's for DNS, NTP, & syslog servers. Yeah, they aren't speed demons, but for single
(or couple) purpose servers in a home environment, they are more than adequate. Use them to learn more.
