Probably. Executing them is not easy. I dont share access or run common web apps. Its due for replacement just because that machines got 3+ years on the drives and fans. The replacement may be a dual atom box with ssd drives and spinners for backup. Not sure yet. Way too much hardware lying around in my shop.
