    you could mine for maidsafe coins when ever there released https://maidsafe.net/
    you could also host a own cloud https://owncloud.org/
    host your self a nas/media server http://www.freenas.org/
    set up a backup of your main computers on to them
    set up a automatic video downloading pvr https://sickrage.ca/(supports torrents) http://sickbeard.com/ (only for news groups)
    laugh at your freinds for not having servers 
    host game servers for your freinds
    or my favorite buy all your freinds names as domain names then host porn sites on said domains

    PrikLY_CacTUs reacted to leadeater in Cisco SG-300-28 Good beginner switch?   
    Yes it has web GUI and console also. The two switches have quite different focuses and are in different product segments, the SG300 is a small business series switch and the 2960 Plus is part of the Cisco enterprise campus switching series of switches. There are extra features that the SG300 has that the 2960 Plus does not have (basic layer 3) but is designed for smaller networks with lower utilization with the expectation that separate layer 2 and layer 3 switches may not be required or is too costly.
     
    Both are good but you have to look at what you want, is this just for training equipment or is it for a core part of your home network, if it's the latter I'd put my vote down for the SG300.
     
    Not likely, it has every feature and configuration option any person or medium scale network would need.
     
    To give you some kind of reference my network at home has multiple different VLANs, firewall segments and site-to-site VPN. My SG300 has an IBM x3500 M4 connected to it running ESXi with a 4x1G LAG (LACP) then the switch connects to my FortiGate 60D firewall, between this firewall there is a S2S VPN to a Ubnt Edgerouter Lite configured in layer 3 VTI mode so fully routed. My network uses OSPF routing cos why not.
     
    Basically I can't see an SG300 limiting you in any way other than specific features that are covered in CCNA that are not implemented in the switch, it has been many years since I've done CCNA so can't say if there is any but I think it would be fairly unlikely.
