Older computers?

Was curious what everybody does with their old(er) machines.
I just replaced my old MB Pro (about 3 years old) with a newer model. Selling it looks like it would only bring in $400 at best so I'm trying to figure out what else to do with it since I only need one computer for work.

I have a small stack of laptops under my desk that I never get around to selling... 1998 G3 thru to 2006 MacBookPro. The G3 is probably worth like $5?
I sold a 6 year old Powerbook G4 for £260 ($400) on eBay a few months back.

As soon as I've got and set up my new computer, I'm going to flatten this one and turn it into a media server / 'public' net access point for the living room.

Sell it. $400 is a lot of money even for wealthy people.
But what do I know.. I have a dell laptop that's pretty well capable of running windows waiting for me to decide what to do with it.. for over a year.

yeah ive got 2 computers just sitting around gathering dust, don't think either of em have a HD or RAM, haha. Thought about turning one into a server but i think the cost of doing that would be more than just getting some web hosting, so that never panned out.

I forgot, I've been playing with a 1.5GHz intel mac mini with a broken sound card.. I'm tempted to turn it into a media center which I don't need.

donate it to a homeless or battered women's shelter
you can write it off, help people in need, AND impress your friends

Give it to a friend or family member?
I know I already posted in this in the latest apple vs pc thread but it still makes me laugh everytime I see it.
My 2001 mbp which was donated to my mother-in-law a few years ago.
