Mike,

I'll echo what the others have said, with my own twist: these would be great
"back room" machines, and would clearly serve well as
DHCP/print/firewall/NAT/router boxes.

Obviously, someone who can write a check for all of them is going to get a
better price ;-), but even at $50/ea, they'd be a good deal for the right
buyer. The problem, of course, is finding that particular buyer.
