Speak for yourself, I'll take anything that executes code and find a use for it
The IPC just isn't good enough of those chips anymore, making them really inefficient. You'd be better off buying a modern celeron
A modern celeron costs like 150 bucks after a motherboard and ram, you can buy an old pc that's bound for a landfill for like 20 bucks, and they are perfectly usable for something like a nas, a tor node, or a minecraft server
Edit: 150's a bit high prolly like 90 is possible
The old wholesale of PCs for 20 buckeroos doesn't really exist here in the UK so I never considered that
