    I can hardly think, that the neighbour would thank a PC in the vegetable garden! :D

    Just be a good citizen and give them to a police station (as a Christmas present) :)

    Keep them in your attic and get them out in 30-50 years, when they are antique!

    Naaa :p, keep one for nostalgia, and keep one to play with (open up etc...), keep one as an old school emulator (N64 and all that),donate the pentium 3 to a charity then strip the other ones bare and sell them for bits (you'd make like £5 max on the Pentiums, maybe more on the SRAM (Can't seem to find any) some more on the graphics cards, and maybe you could mod the cases to fit ATX Mobos and fill them one by one and turn your attic into a folding farm

    Oh and it takes a pretty hefty comp to Emulate the almighty N64.

    Fail, 1.67GHz sempron plays all games at 60FPS on project 64 on fullscreen ONLY. NES and SNES is possible though, I just don't see the point in not emulating on his current machine.

    You could use the pentium 3 as a virus box, aka open wierd files you aren't sure are safe, if it get's infected big whoop :D

    A few can be used as torrent servers or such, donate them to your friends to use as servers, etc.

    14 can be a bit hard to get rid of, though. Why did you take so many? :p

    Use them in the garden, rock gardens are old hat, so use these instead.

    However if thats no good I loved the earlier idea of making a fort, you will need to get hold of a few hundred more machines though.
