Well, it depends on what you use it for. I was thinking about using it for distributed workloads which is more intense than average.

I was even thinking about how much mileage could one get from a rack of old laptop logic boards. Gaming laptops sold for parts are much, much cheaper than "real" server hardware. It appeals to me because of the reuse aspect as well.

> A slightly less-performant server is better than no server

Holds true regardless of your workload :) Imo sounds like premature optimization.
