What do you do with a retired RS/6000 server?

[Database Administrator]

We've been running AIX on an RS/6000 (pSeries 620 7025-6F1) since
2002. Last month, we migrated the data to a new server and have no use
for this server.

I've looked around on eBay and there doesn't seem to be an resale
value in the unit.

What the hell do I do with it now?

Since its still reasonable fast you could try the usual resellers:
Elarasys, epoka, etc...

Take it home and run a datacentre of your own :-)
Sales of machines >= Power3 on eBay suffer from their
shipping costs due to their weight.
Unless the buyer lives in your neighbourhood
and can pick it up himself.

Or use it as heater and leg rest combo.
