Two Dell R710's

Hello everyone!  Today I am writing this thread to ask everybody what I should do with two dell r710 servers.  These servers are equipped with two Xeon E5-620 4 cores 8 threads a piece, 32GB of ram, and 2TB of storage each.  I already have a hyper-visor loaded on one.  Any ideas on how I can make money with these things?

 

Another random thing I want to know is... Will my 4790k @ 4.6 be faster than dual E5-620's at 2.66? 

Current Build: Core i7 4790k @ 4.6, Asus Maximus VII Hero, Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400mhz 8gb (2x4gb), GTX 980ti, NZXT Kraken X61, Fractal Define R5  EVGA Supernova B2 850w, Some 300gb hard drive.

Sell them on eBay or Craigslist. You'll be hard pressed to find someone to actually pay you for VM instance, assuming you have an residential connection, no 99.99% reliability (power outage, ISP outage), and no dedicated IPv4/IPv6 to the guest OS.

 

You could rent out the VM instance as an game server though with shared hosting for an few bucks an month to someone who doesn't need the things I just mentioned above.

I was thinking of creating several minecraft servers and selling ranks via paypal for a few extra bucks.

Is it worth the added power usage though? You need to at least break even with your power company. Otherwise you'll just lose money over the long run.
