At one MacWorld I attended one vendor had taken dozens

SE30's and Classics and built what can only be called a throne out of them,
with a Lisa for an ottoman - and ran the Pyro! screensaver on them all, then
photographed show-goers sitting on it and handed out the Polaroids. That
took dozens of mini-Macs but perhaps you could use the few you have to do
something equally silly - run the Energizer Bunny, network version. Hook 'em
together with PhoneNet, install the init on them all and the "Start Wabbit"
application on one, and let it rip. Bunny marches across one screen, then
the next, then the next and around and around. I have the software if you
want it. Sort of a deranged kinetic art form...
For those excessively bored with way too much free time on their hands,
you could try building a MacArc if you have enough. If you stack Macs one
on top of the other, the one on top will be at a 5-10 degree angle from
the one on the bottom. If you stack enough of them, it'll eventually make
an arc (of indeterminate length). You'll need to use epoxy or something
however.
It'll probably get you on the news, especially if it collapses just as you
are standing underneath for the victory shot.
