Come on Eric
 
Where's your spirit of adventure ?    In addition to using it as a File
server,  Put SQL Server on 
it with all your company's mission critical files,   and maybe your email
and a couple of others
for good measure(no more than 3 should do it).

Then see if you can get a successful backup and restore(the entire disk
image that is without a
re-install of NT) to a different set of hardware as a disaster prepare run
thru.     
It shouldn't have any problem beating that 220 hours per year,  whatta
think?

BTW my Win95 system is very stable too.   I use it for Solitare mostly(and
this email).

Just kidding. Really
