Why would I keep around obsolete hardware that I don't use when I can sell it while it still has value and use the money for an upgrade? If I kept all my computers around until they died I'd still have a Pentium II machine wasting space. Hell, I'd still probably have my old 286.
I guess if you're fine using out of date hardware or hoarding unused computers your way is great. Personally I'd rather stay reasonably up to date and get money for my old computer rather than just have it take up space.
