The magic of a ssd and a lightweight distro running xfce can even perk up an average system from 2010. Bonus points if you can upgrade the memory. You can probably still get to a login prompt in 20-30s, and cold boot to a link saved on the desktop playing music in under a minute.

That's about $30 USD in parts. You will probably struggle with more intense tasks. We just replaced desktops with similar specs that were just barely able to run optimized Minecraft a couple years ago.
