How to use 3 PCs?

[Xuttah]

I recently came into possession (legally) of 2 PCs. I already have one that I use for most things, so I'm unsure what to use the others for. A web server was one idea. But then I've still got the 3rd PC lying dormant.

Anyone have multiple systems and willing to share your ideas? Thx

Oh, in case it helps any....

PC 1
Celery 566
256MB SDRAM
2 10GB IDE HDD
10/100 NIC

PC 2
PPro 200
64MB EDO
30GB HDD
10/100 NIC

FTP servers are pretty cool to mess around with.

File/Print server? Internet gateway / router?

Learn another operating system.

Set one up as a hot spare. (every computer guru I know swears that their main machine will die as soon as a critical project looms).

Set up a media server.

Learn networking.

Take the lower end one, and give it to a young relative headed to college or H.S. Give them a chance to learn with a machine that's their own.

Donate it to charity - take the tax break and feel good about it.

LAN party spares to loan to friends.

Or, last but not least, use them to heat your home ;-) Hardcore computer geeks know that college dorm rooms and small apartments can be efficiently heated by large monitors and fast machines!
