My 3rd gen i3 laptop has: dead battery, broken screen(about 1/3 of the screen is dead), loose USB ports that work when they feel like it and a decrepit HDD that was slow even when it was new. I have it for emergencies, but I don't think it's worth rebuilding it.

Replace the HDD with an SSD and it'd probably make a decent server. You usually don't need a screen, USB ports, or battery for a server :)
I'm running a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb of ram and 32gb of storage:
