This is the real red herring. While, indeed, a lot of people seem to like
to use old hardware to play around with Linux, the fact of the matter is,
if you're going to run such hardware, especially in clusters, it would be
far more cost effective to build low voltage blade systems than to utilize
all kinds of under-performing, but over-power consuming legacy PC's.
