What to do with my server
Before VPSs and "The Cloud" we invested in two dell tower servers for our small business. Right now, one runs our firewall and a few internal software.
The second runs a pbx. however, I feel like the box with the pbx is not using it's potential. I want to put a virtualization chamber on server one and move the pbx there.
Then I'll have an empty tower server.
What should I do?
I have 4 more ip addresses from our ISP.
I'm not a gamer.

You could offer really low cost (or free) VPS services.
@David_P
No, seriously - If you don't know what to do with it rather put it on sale.
@wdq I don't have the expertise to set that up
if I don't come up with anything, I'll sell it.
Servers for sale? I'm looking for servers for sale
You could definitely make a little bit of money off of the unused server if you sell it.
Maybe you can set up a instant messaging solution. Or storage server. Or maybe a second firewall.
The second server will be the backup of the first one. A single physical server without a hot backup is a huge single point of failure. Install the same hypervisor on both servers and set-up some vm replica jobs.
