What would you do?

My friend just got back from a job interview and he told me one of the questions he had for the interview. Thought it was pretty amusing and thought I would ask you guys the same.

If you were given a Quad processor server with 2TB of storage and a 10Mbit line with a guaranteed 99.99999% uptime what would you use it for to make money? (Must be legal and no Porn)

When he asked me this question my mind drew a blank. Just wanted to see what you guys would come up with.

Oversell web hosting and virtual servers of course! Unoffically to porn industry but offically to other types of buisness.

Offsite backups to large corporations.

Offer some kind of outsourced database processing. That machine has alot of horsepower & storage but a rather small pipe. Have them send in the data they need processed on some kind of media then post or transmit them the results.

Pr0n is images & videos dude.. 10Mbit is not enough bandwidth for that.

Whoops I meant 10 MByte Full Bidirectional and not Burstable.
