Hardware acquired

Alright boys and girls. Haven't been in the scene for quite a long time. Whether scene means Runescape or Villavu. Been lurking more and more as of late though.

This isn't a build thread, or I just got a new computer, or whatever. I just got a bunch of towers and servers. I mean a bunch.

We are talking 20 Core 2 Duo with 1GB of ram Dell workstations, 5 dell 3ghz xeon dual core rack servers with 4gb of ram each, and a few 48 port gigabit switches.

Before I look at getting rid of these some how I was curious if anyone out there had a use or a project they could think of to do with them.

I was thinking anything from cluster computing to lots of virtualization to sand boxing to whatever.

The only bottleneck here is my internet pipe is only 50meg down and 5 meg up. Shitty american internet.

Anybody interested or have any ideas there want to throw at the wall and see if they stick?

It seems like you should be able to figure something out for all those comps eh! Drawing a blank myself though…

Probably not worth the electricity on legacy hardware.

Everybody drawing blanks too? I mean seriously there is a pile of hardware here. I suppose we could setup a massive LAN for some older games like Starcraft 1, Rise of Nations, BF1942 etc.
