I agree that it wasn't much use for what it was previously provisioned
for, but can we use it for something else? If we can rebuild it for
something else, why not take advantage of access to a machine? Maybe a
mirror of some static web content (round-robin DNS managed perhaps),
or another build server, or..

I just don't know how I feel about axing a machine at the same time
that we're trying to buy a new one (granted the two aren't comparable
in hardware, it's still a machine..)
