Dropped the machine (no crate, it was a local move from another
building) off the back of the truck and destroyed it. The person
unloading it slipped and fell, the machine was thrown about eight
feet. The case was broken, drives had failure warnings, and rather
than take chances we parted the machine out.
It was replaced because I am not interested in providing free hardware
to the company on a long term basis.

Did they drop the crate it was in from a great height? Or was the
vehicle it was being transported in involved in a road accident? Or
was it something else?
How much power would it require of the MicroVAX (I'm an Amiga/Speccy
person, so have no clue about VAXen or PDP's etc.) too be a DNS
server and why replace it if it worked?

Yes, but nobody will care until the law shows up or we get hacked,
in which case things will still be my fault. He who bitches loudest
gets what he wants, and I am outnumbered. (We run a data warehouse
for government/corporate contractors to locate certified minority
owned subcontractors for bidding disclosure compliance purposes.)
To make things a bit more on-topic, for the first two weeks of our
operations our DNS server was a MicroVAX standing in for a machine
that was destroyed in shipping.
