Well, if you have the HD space, think about making it your backup (file) server. I don't know what Mac OS app you'd run, but if you get A/UX or a Linux or NetBSD running you can get some scheduled jobs going to repeatedy copy your latest files from your main machines(s) to it. Or make it an mp3 jukebox/server. Or make it your full-time print server for your LAN. I'm a fan of taking older equipment and running it "headless" and single-tasking it for something I wouldn't/ccouldn't/shouldn't do with my primary computer.
