    What to do with six extra computers...

    As I'm going around unboxing all of the stuff from the move, I keep finding more and more computers. I've got one machine that is a Windows Media Center Edition, one is running Red Hat that I was using to play around with Linux, one is an old Windows 98 machine, and then I have one running XP. I also have two (maybe one more) older Dell laptops. Now, the question, what do I do with all of this potential fun? I think one will become a dummy hard-drive farm, I was playing around with making one the brains behind my dream home automation setup. Any ideas for the others, or ideas/experience on how to go about doing these two projects? I need to make sure that the laptops have power supplies, but one (or both of them) may turn into a digital picture frame. So you guys are all geeks/opinionated, let me know if you've got any pearls of wisdom.
