Scored some servers at auction - not sure what to do with them (alien.top)

I know, you get this post all the time. Perhaps additional context will help separate me from all the other posts.

I won some great equipment at a local City auction recently, most notably a couple of PowerEdge R430s. They have dual Xeon E5-2620 procs in them with 32GB RAM. They pulled the drives, but my buddy is dropping by a handful of old server SSDs that I can throw in them.

Now, I'm trying to get some ideas on what I can use at least one of them for (will probably resell the remaining equipment I got in the score.

Current focuses are on learning web dev (learning Angular and JS right now). I have gig internet from Spectrum with my own modem/router. I have access to Windows licenses etc. I'm just not sure what to do with this thing now that I have it.

I welcome your suggestions, both serious and in jest.

Thanks in advance.
