Second hand micro desktops are still cheap, at least for now.

Hardware that is considered e-waste (like a Core 2 Duo) makes a wonderful home server.

You can go much newer than that and get semi modern intel chips second hand. For something that runs 24/7, the power cost will exceed the savings from using long obsolete chips.
