I recently got a $100 PC that's now an Ubuntu server running your typical qBittorrent/Xarr/Plex/VPN stack, a local web server (for accessing said services), and nginxproxymanager all across docker containers. It's not powerful by modern standards (i5-7600), but for what I use it for it's way overkill. It's currently sitting at 5% memory utilization of the 8GB of RAM it has despite running all that with many active torrents.
Nice! I still have my PC from 2009-ish (Phenom II X4) running my NAS and serving DLNA (for my smart TV), and I'm planning to downsize a bit to save on power (looking at ARM boards like RockPro64).
Older machines make for great servers.
