Old laptops make pretty good firewalls, I think. They take little space, have a built-in battery backup and built-in keyboard/monitor to use when you are visiting the datacenter. I have repurposed a couple of older laptops for these reasons since the machine doesn't need to be very fast to accomplish the mission. A lot of 3-4 year old laptops cave in under the weight of Windows, but are really overkill for a simple unix firewall. Better than sending them to the dustbin.
