You have too much free time on your hands lol Why not turn those PCs into servers on your network. You could have a media server, backup server etc.

Why not? If you've already got the hardware and it will just cost time, why not learn something new.
@"vrag" I've never personally setup a cluster so I've got no tips myself, however Kubernetes has an article on doing it which seems like a great place to start:

As for what to do with servers, depending on the system performance: game servers, web servers, Plex/Emby servers, Library servers, Cloud storage to yourself, backups, etc...
The only mandatory recommendation in my mind for a local network server is PiHole for network wide ad removal even on devices without AdBlock.

I'd recommend [To see links please register here] because it's free and open source. Attach a bunch of hard drives to your server and you'll be able to access files on your network. Forward your ports and you'll be able to grab your files on the go.
For more things to run on a server you have kicking around, I'd take a look at [To see links please register here] pretty exhaustive list of services to run.

I was thinking more along the lines of services you can use locally, like Nyx mentioned you could run a plex media server so you can stream all of your movies, music, files etc with any device connected to your LAN. Having a PiHole is also pretty useful or you could run a TOR relay node or host one of the many blockchains out there. If your machines are powerful enough you could install virtualization software on there an run multiple servers at the same time on each machine.

I suppose you arecorrect but by for me servers would be a better use of the hardware and by the sounds of things OP would still be learning something.
