Advice on using a server

[Wiggles_the_worried_Clown]

So a while back I was able to get my hands on a "relatively" new server from someone who bought it from a business that was downsizing. Originally I just wanted something to run Plex but this server is waaaaay overkill for that function and I am trying to find other things to do with the server. The server is a IBM x3755 m3 with 4x Opteron 6276 (16 core), 256 GB DDR3, 2x 450 GB SAS disks, and 6 open drive slots. It also has 2 dual port fibre PCI cards (which I see no use in for home function). So essentially I have all this horse power and not a lot I can think to do with it. Just wondering if anyone has any good ideas on what to do with something like this?

Honestly, stick it on eBay and make a profit. Running that thing at home will cost a stupid amount of money and as you say, there's really not much you can do with it anyway.

RAM should fetch a good price, SAS disks probably not a whole lot, dont know about the opteron's though

How much you want for it?  I have alot of things to run

+1 for selling it, the RAM alone should net you a few hundred bucks.
