[pchelpers] What can a person do with 50 X windows terminals?

OK guys, it's probably been a few years since I've posted, so forgive me.

Here's the situation:  I just recently aquired 50 X windows terminals as a
part of a pile of "wonderful used government toys".  (HDS ViewStation X)
they have an ethernet connection, standard keyboard & mouse ports, what
appears to be a 15 pin VGA port and a Parallel port.  I cracked one of  the
cases and there appears to be an 8Mb simm on the mainboard.


Question #1.  Are these things worth anything?
Question #2.  Do you suppose it would be any fun trying to set up some sort
of network with these things?
Question #3.  What would you do with 50 of these things if you had them?

Did I mention that I also got 50 SVGA monitors (14" & 15" SONY) along with
keyboards and mice?

Not to mention there is a complete PBX telephone system, Mitel SX-200 with
80 superset phones 2 Towers with around 20 controller cards in each 2
Superconsoles and a programming/control console. (You suppose anyone might
want to set up a call center?)
