Practical uses for my dell poweredge T105 Server?

I just bought a Dell PowerEdge T105 server a few weeks ago and its been sitting in my garage collecting dust ever since.

What should I do with it?
 
For me an extra PC would be a backup center, kinda of like a SAN. Or it would turn into a test bed for server 08, exchange 07 and vista image deployments.
 
I'm fairly certain the cpu in those servers are 'Santa Ana' Opterons, with 'Pacifica' virtualisation tech. So you could try hypervisor virtualisation (VMware ESX or Microsoft's 'Viridian' Hyper-V), which was why I wanted one of those cheap T105s.

You don't need a server qua server? Not even a plain old file / media server? I wish I could afford to buy / build a new server, especially with all the TechNet software I can evaluate. I'm especially interested in running Windows SharePoint Services.

It's fun when it works and when the probles are easy to locate and solve. Actually problems are easy to solve, they are just hard to locate the 5 places to fix it. SP is fun when it works, but not fun when users are screaming down your neck.
