I would disagree with that as well... PC's yes. Servers, no. Say you have a mail server that is no longer up to the job, Well, that could make a nice file server now. An old file server could become a DC or a DNS server. It is all about specs. Our servers are a year old and most of them are shot. The guy before me underspeced everything (he only thought about getting the cheapest stuff possible), and now we have no disk space, not enough CPU, etc. Same with PC's and they are all falling apart after a year and a half. But at my last company, my NEW email server was 3 years old and had been spec'd well and the config was more than up to the task. I buy servers to last a MINIMUM of 3 years.
