I assume you don't include VM's dmesg in that ;-)
The low-power-when-idle is nifty but CPUs aren't always idle and mine
spikes after halt.
The biggest disadvantage i see in having fun with old hardware is the
PSUs: they're noisy and probably waste more electricity than the
components actually need (but that's true for any modern PSU too i
guess).

Not all older systems are pigs. My Dell Optiplex gx200's, and GX1p's
are excellent hardware, still working after 10 years (with new disks)
and the last 866MHz gx200 I measured wanted 54 watts.
