Well you could install ESXi as a hypervisor, then set up a Windows domain if you hace access to MS server software, then maybe DHCP and DNS alongside the DC. After that...could have a play about with Linux, maybe play with file servers.
Good fun if you have never done it before, install windows server and set a client into the domain and have a play with group policy, useful skill and quite fun.
use it as an internet router. But you may need to up the ram, and spend even more money on it..
Seriously, the best use for a bit of kit like that, with currently no real purpose must be to install esxi on it and run /test/play with various virtual systems etc. Set up a mail server, music server, web, ftp, ssh, etc
If you definately want to keep it, set it up as a server 2008 direct access testbed. Certainly something I'd be implementing at home if I had the spare capable hardware.
If you don't want to keep it, or aren't sure, I could do with a spare incase one of our IBM 1U servers fails at work
