Selfhosted build server is an excellent idea, it could perhaps generate enough media
attention to get things rolling.

I can host the machine, we don't need a monster server for this, we could just use a
vPro/AMT enabled workstation to make a build and it could even be remotely installed and
configured via internet for updates and reinstallation.

Another area of use would perhaps be some kind of "Retro Game Appliance", some
free/open source games packaged as a virtual appliance ready to run directly from VMWare
Player/VBox, no direcx or d3d need, just usual graphics and sound.
