So I had enough spare parts to put together another comp, and decided to make myself a server. So far, it's being used for FTP (currently just for Firefox bookmark sync, but i have more uses planned) and Ventrilo (which will get used as soon as I let my friends that still have time for games know that it's up), but even put together, it seems like a waste of the majority of the computer's power. So, does anybody have any ideas as to any other useful ways to use this server?
For further info, I prefer *not* to use it for anything like Prime95 or [email protected], which just eats CPU power and makes it 90+ degrees in my room. Also, I've considered an HTTP or SMTP server, but have no use for one.
Any ideas?

Make it a backup computer for all your data files, not just bookmarks...

It can be running constant backups...

ah yes, this is true. It would probably also make sense to put more space on my server than the 80 gigs it has... perhaps my everyday-use pc (2x 250 gigs) can spare one of its hard drives lol. Are there any (free) backup applications that can do this to a highly customized level, or shall I write my own?

Well if you have the skills necessary to write your own then go for it.
