Reusing old hardware is all fun and games, but please remember to make regular, offsite (online!) backups of your important stuff. Hardware will fail at some point, and I'm not even talking about the obvious risk of house fires/flooding...

This. Having old hardware running various services in the basement is handy, saves money (unless they use a ton of electricity), but the second stuff breaks down you will be screwed unless you have a backup somewhere.
