I bought a Superstack II Switch 3300 Model 3C16980 a while back (over 2 yrs ago) at a garage sale for like $10. Problem is, it's been stored for the entire time I've had it and I don't really have any use for it. So I'm asking for some ideas, so I can find a use for it.

I do have about 3 older computers that are just sitting around. I plan to install ubuntu on one and use it as a Ventrilo or Teamspeak Server and for Skype. Then connect it to my tv via VGA to Composite . I have yet to find a use for the others. I might try my hand at setting up Cloud Computing but i'm not sure yet.

So any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

You could set up a multimedia system for your home?
Make them all have a cloud for storage, and make them all SSH compliant and then your house/flat will be win.
