HP Compaq T5000 - Alternative uses

I have acquired a reduntant T5000, I am looking for suggestions how best to re-deploy it at home.

That is apart from the normal designed for use. I am trying to think of alternative ways to use it instead.

Install VMware Server on it, then you can play with as many OS's or test machines as you wish.

tx spiderz, currently have my lv-678 running my windows home server - which serves up media to my ps3 and 3 x360's through the house.

I am also using a shuttle x27 as a dedicated torrent box.

So basically the Compaq T5000 will have to fulfill a function outside of those.
