I have repurposed retired laptops for my tech lab at home. They no longer keep up with the current software bloat for wife and kids usage, but make reasonable linux servers. Currently serving up 3 databases on one, kafka and networking on another and services/applications on a third. They take up very little space under my desk.

Just for curious, why would you need 3 databases ?
A good way to keep the laptops operating as well. It reminds me I have a few old macbooks with decent specs that should be at least running.
