  Nonsense. Anyone who's ever experienced a cranky child and a wind-up rocker would gladly sacrifice a few kwh's for some peace and quiet! The fans in that old beast probably provide some nice soothing white noise as well. I myself collect usb cdroms that no longer read correctly for use as impromptu servos. You just never know when you're gonna need your linux box to pull a latch or give something a nudge. Edit: Oh...
