You're right about it being out of warranty. But getting parts is not a problem - they are all over the web, and most of them are reasonably priced. For a server that is not in a "mission critical" role, a certain amount of downtime is acceptable to some clients. It's a "risk v. cost" equation. It wouldn't fit every situation but there are times to deploy a device like this, admittedly, not very many, but..... And if it works for a while, this client might see the value of a newer machine and several months from now they expect the cash flow to improve. so who knows - it might be the step that causes them to take it to the next level.
