I'm currently running 10.10.3 on a Mac Pro 1,1, at almost 9 years of use. Of course 10.10 isn't supported by Apple, but it works just fine, and with the combination of an SSD and cheap RAM, I imagine I can get another 3-4 years out of this desktop barring a hardware failure that pushes me to a new system.

The good thing is that eBay is flooded with cheap old Mac Pros, so parts won't be hard to come by.
