Not really. Keep in mind that the average person considers any computer
over 5 years old to be totally unusable junk.

The problem is the software becomes obsolete in 5 years.
This like the tax programs and such constantly require new
OSs or hardware. New OSs don't have drivers for older
hardware.
For many large server farms, it isn't economical to run hardware
that is more than 3 years old. New equipment pays for
itself in power used alone. Many new components are being designed
with 5 year half life as the target.
