I'm all for "driving it into the ground" in order to get your money's
worth out of the price of a car, but really, unless you're asking for
almost nothing from that machine (in terms of performance), think
diminishing returns.
My desktop machine is a *used* PIV-2.4 Ghz with 0.5 GB RAM and 40 Gb
HD. It only cost me C$160 a couple of years ago.
If you're only using it for a firewall/server, maybe consider the *BSDs.
