​A friend has (last i saw) a fully intact Burroughs mini-mainfram under his
wetbar. This seems like a good re-use.

Another friend heated their condo in the winter with vintage VAXen. I
nearly used DEC Alpha's for heat when my furnace failed, but got loan of a
oil-filled electric​ radiator that was equally efficient and had a
thermostat.
