Here's the thing - I understand getting comfortable with an perating system, and being happy with what you do with it while the rest of the world advances around you with enhancements you don't care about.
But the reality is, computers last three years. Anything over that and you start getting into your situation.
Yes, you can keep using XP. And you may have no trouble. But you're hard drive IS going to crash soon. When you go to install a new one, you may find the old device drivers don't work with your new drive.
In short, it's going to be come a bigger and bigger challenge to keep the old machines alive. Requiring more technical expertise just to maintain them than you'd ever need to run a new one.
The next problem is, Operating systems evolve quite a bit with each release. When you skip several generations of an operating system, by the time you DO move up, you're going to be so unfamiliar with it that you don't recognize anything. You'll essentially be learning from scratch, instead of slowly across time.
Do yourself a favor - go buy two cheap new computers.
Even the cheapest modern computer will be a better move than the ticking time bombs you have now - they WILL fail eventually, and irreversibly.
