Re-purposing old appliance/hardware

What do you all do with your old SMS and SGs? I have an Smart-1 210 and (2) SG 5000s that we migrated from and wiped the hdds.
Curious to hear what others have done with their old hardware.

Leverage them as a lab / test environment to the extent possible?

Granted the HW spec may no longer be ideal however for all scenarios.

I agree with Chris...either use it for labs OR I know clients who get trade in value if they purchase new appliances.

Thanks, this is likely what I will be doing. It would be interesting to see though if anyone else did something else besides repurposing them as a lab!
