3 Dells and a network

[BenLoomis]

I have acquired 3 old Dells. Specs are as follows.

GX240s
1.7 Ghz
128mb sdram
no hard drives

I was wondering if anyone can think of any reason to keep these machines? They would make great web browsers, but I don't really need another box for browsing. I will of course get more memory for them. I already have plenty of sd133 lying around my place to fill all the slots up.

I have a pretty robust network and I do a lot with video editing and large audio/video file editing.

If no one can think of any crazy setups, I'll just end up putting a HD in each one and donating them.

Let me know what would be a great setup! Game servers, NAS(s), file servers. I'll try just about anything, but I want to try something I wouldn't normally do.

The only things I can think of are...

Passing certifications (great for passing MCSE, Server+, RHCE....)

Start a lan party and use them as game hosting servers. You will just need more ram.

File Server
Smoothwall (over spec'd but hey)
Render farm if any of your applications allow use of rander farms.

Fold on them.
