What should I do with my switch?
I bought a Superstack II Switch 3300 Model 3C16980 a while back at a garage sale for like $10. I'm a compulsive tech buyer, if it's a steal. Problem is, it's been stored for the entire time I've had it and I don't really have any use for it. So I'm asking for some ideas, so I can find a use for it.
I do have about 3 older computers that are just sitting around. I plan to install ubuntu on one and use it as a Ventrilo or Teamspeak Server and for Skype. I have yet to find a use for the others. I might try my hand at setting up Cloud Computing but i'm not sure yet.
So any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Aside from having 24 ports, it's just a vanilla unmanaged 10/100 switch, not even gigabit capable.
If I were looking to pre-wire a house for ethernet in every room, a huge multi-port switch would come in handy. Otherwise, I can't imagine how I'd use it. And frankly, I'd go for gigabit today anyway. A 24-port gigabit switch goes for about $110 (http://www.provantage.com/tp-link-tl-sg1024d~7TPLK... and most people wouldn't need 24 ports (I know I don't -- I run our entire ranch with a $70 16-port and have ports to spare).
