Everyone talking about keeping around all this ancient hardware for fun.. True, I did that too for years.. Until I moved out of my dorm and had to start paying the power bills myself. What an utter waste of money and resources! I think it would be better for the envorinment to have one fast box (and play with virtualisation if you want multiple machines), than have a battery of ancient boxes around the house. My 2 cents..

I'd go for a boot'n go SAN machine, or iSCSI SAN host, with built in encryption, and an easy, slick looking web interface ;)
