Print servers...

Trivial Web servers (mainly static pages)...

X Terminals (even from one of them to another, off loading the graphics
can make a big difference)...

Test OS/install boxes (LXs support Solaris 9!)...

Turned side-ways, they make nice shelving spacers for book shelves...

Yes, I'd "max-out" a few and tinker with them..

Enjoy!
