With all this in mind, and considering I have numerous
retired systems
 available, I'm looking for suggestions on which platform to use for which
 purpose. Here is what I have active now:
 SPARC IPC (Local DNS, intranet only).
 SPARCClassic, 32MB RAM, 1 gig disk -- Web server.
 Here are the machines I have available that have yet to be put to use.
 --SPARC IPX with the Weitek PowerSPARC upgrade CPU, 32MB RAM.
 --At least one, possibly two more SPARCClassics, 32MB RAM each (both under
 consideration for mail servers).
 --NEC RISCServer 2200, dual CPUs, 64MB RAM (Under consideration for taking
 over as web server at a future point).
 --Two MicroVAX 3's, 32MB RAM each.
 --DEC 3000/600 Alpha system, 128MB RAM (under consideration as a future
 workstation).
 --VAXServer 3100, 16MB RAM (can possibly go to 24).
 --VAXStation 3100/M38, 16MB RAM (can possibly go to 24).
 --ApplicationDEC dual-CPU 486 system, 16MB RAM.
 --DEC 5000/200 MIPS box, RAM unknown.
 --Motorola MVME147 tower system, RAM unknown (at least 8, possibly 16MB),
 under consideration for the "maintenance" node mentioned earlier. 
I just hope that electricity is cheap in you area. ;-)
Just my 2 Watts.
