The biggest of them has dual 200 MHz Pentiums, 512 MB of RAM, a hardware RAID of 12 drives totaling 78 GB, and triply redundant power supplies, all housed in a cabinet the size and shape of an end table.

Larry suggested donating them to a local nonprofit, and I think that's a good idea. But it'd be good to target a nonprofit that can actually use the performance characteristics of the machines that we have.
a stable FTP/Samba server for keeping audio files and serving them up to students for purposes of Media production.
