Really? An older core2 computer uses like 10 times more electricity at idle than a halfway modern one. Also, since it is much less powerful, you might need multiple old computers to manage the sane workload.
I am completely unconvinced that wasting huge amounts of electricity is "better for the environment".
...but you could upgrade components. Yeah, and by now the only component in that computer that is still the same as when bought would be the case. So you threw out and bought 95% of a computer instead of 100%....
