What can I Do With 20 Used Xeon 1U Servers?

I’m a beginning IT guy, I work in the creative industry and I’m slowly moving to IT. I’ve always been passionate about technology I have been disassembling pc’s since they ran windows 3.1...

So I got some experience in hardware, basic networking and intermediate experience in ZFS arrays using freenas deploying them in an audiovisual (film)editing environment using 10GbE SFP.

Working in the creative industry/non profit, I was always forced to work on a budget so I never was able to buy new equipment so out of a habit I’m always on the lookout for used servers. I recently was able to buy 20 supermicro X8 dual CPU 1U systems with a total of 400GB of ram form a failed company, for next to nothing ($600!)

My problem is that I don’t know what to do with them :-) Sure I could sell them on Ebay and get a very decent profit, but I was wondering if I could use them to increase my business. Could there be an opportunity here that I’m missing? Any suggestions on how I could use this equipment to my advantage?
