2004 hardware -> dumpster!
Seriousky, with the electricity bill of 1 year of that server running 24/7 you can buy a used Dell, HP or Lenovo PC (2/3 maybe 4 years old); you will have more power, way less power consumption and way less noise.
Not only is it insanely power hungry and will drive up electric bill, it’s storage and memory limited, and worst of all, 32-bit.
You wouldn’t be able to run much as far as modern software goes on it, and even then, not for long. You probably won’t even find a working distribution because of the age of the hardware, and the fact that large swaths of 32-bit drivers have been removed from the kernel over the years.
Just chalk it up to being E-Waste, and take it to someplace that will properly recycle it.
Dude, chillax!
Why would I read the article? I assumed that you got the same hardware that was mentioned in the article; how could I know that you wrote it about your server?
And by the way, your analogy with the archeology doesn’t fit at all.

Thy already wrote this will not be powered on 24/7, just lean back and enjoy the pics and story :-)

Yes, exactly.

An archaeologist would not use the pan, they would study it and put it in a museum.
