Probably have enough horsepower to * make a backup pc (backuppc.sourceforge.net) - maybe after adding usb cards for extra offsitednessosityisness <TM> * make a recording studio? (add soundcards, Rs100 each 2nd hand) * make a wan aggregator (ebox, pfsense) for SMEs or for yourself - needs lan cards ( maybe Rs100 each second hand) If you have enough slots you can surely do fun stuff with it.
