An old friend thought of me and gave me a Blueberry iMac 333. I'd like to use it and not let it sit in the corner. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Fileserver for photos, iTunes, general shared files?

Host a website on it?

Donate it to a worthy cause?

I'll take it off your hands!

Anyway, as others have suggested, a fileserver would be good. You could also use it as a printserver. Or a Linux box.
