Despite being 13 years old, I use it as NAS with Unraid and works great. Not for computing of course, for that I have a HP EliteDesk Mini.

Yes. I use a G7 N36L as an offsite-backup server in my second apartment. Works great with NetBSD and zfs, using rsnapshot to make remote backups every night.
Since it is only active for an hour and a half each night, it is my only server to put the disks into powersave mode the rest of the time. Computing eprformance is so low that I don’t even run a folding@home client. It usually cannot finish any work package before the deadline.
