12 years is hardly past the lifespan of a computer. That is only past the lifespan of the computer if you want to run the latest stuff, particularly games. I even have spinning disk drives from a brand that hasn't existed since 2006 that work without errors. I just keep coming up with ideas to use my old 'ewaste' on for the fun of it, because that old hardware still works great even if slow by modern standards.
