If you're a broke kid who knows computers, then old office PC is 100% the way to go. A bike, $20 and craigslist ad and some door knocking will probably set you up by the end of the day.
If you're trying to help other people, something new in box is 100% the way to go. It's not worth the time of gathering and messing with dissimilar hardware.
Both valid strategies. A question of pull vs push.
