That's about a 5 year old model

Are they all likely to be that old? Is there an easy way of checking
vintage?

The clue on those ones is that it is a "Pentium D" which pre-dates the
Core and Core Duo processors, and the current Core2 processors, likely
to be a bit more power hungry if leaving it on 24x7.

If Tim wants a better machine I am sure I have some cast off Core2Duo
E7xxx class machines going spare* for the cost of delivery. (you will
need to add your own OS) and possibly HD (although I can lob one of
those in if you want)

I have been considering this
