I turned mine into a retro gaming console. Got it working, fired it up, and realized that the games of yesteryear are are terrible compared to what's out there now (IMHO) and it's been sitting since.
My next idea is to run DNS and a web server on it. I'd like to set it up to just get DNS from Google and OpenDNS for most queries, but for known ad servers, to redirect those queries to a local webserver and have it set up to just return a 1x1 pixel transparent GIF to any and all requests. I'm thinking of doing it mainly just as an exercise, and partly to see how the sites that pop a "You're using an ad-blocker!" react to that.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
