Alright, so I was scrounging around my house and looking for crap and I found 7 computer that I have nothing to do with.
4 Laptops
2 Server computers
and a desktop that I could use as a server.
Now I have no idea what to use them for.
Ideas?
Host game servers
Like you said, you could host game servers, but many people will most likely tell you to sell them.
Why the desktop keep the for game servers, and sell the rest?
I want one of the laptops.
If you're nice then could I have one?
If you're super nice then for free?

Set up servers, or sell them.

Perhaps you should host a game that you and your friends pkay a lot together. A CO-OP game like Synergy, Obsiden Conflict and so on.
Make one of them into a fileserver, the rest into game servers.
Or if you do video editing or 3D work you could make a poor man's render farm I suppose.
You can allways give me 1 of the laptops. : d

And pics.
Folding @ Home. Do this on the desktops / servers. Or give them to me and I will.

Do one of those botnet thingies that you earn money for having PCs on
How old is everything?
You could, you know, donate the computers to a charity.

Not that old.
And me and my dad just took about 8 old computers to recycle and go to charity.
If you posted some specs here, we'd easier be able to tell you what to do with them.
The laptops might earn you a small fortune, whereas the servers can make great storage- or game servers.
Get into distributed computing.
send me a laptop
I'd buy a laptop, but I'm broke, seed for a freeware torrent or something.
What's the specs of the server boxes? Are they rack boxes?
Where are the Distributed Computing projects that pay you?
I've never seen/heard of any, and couldn't find any that looked trustworthy.
Servers or sell them...
Or if your feeling generous, donate them... one to me please, I'll pay postage
Again, post pics and specs.
I might even buy them off of you.
i have $11.37
what will that get me
