Target practice.
Dejunk.
Stack them and get an 8 way KVM switch.
Double up the hard drives in the best ones and use it for internet sponging.

Pull the boards and practice soldering.

I have a computer that is older than I am.

Okay, how many other people felt old by reading that comment?

4) MP3 player.  Yes, a P133 will play MP3s.  Not much else, though.  Maybe a jukebox?  DOSCab might work, not sure what the minimum specs are.  Chris once asked me to try it on my 486 and  I never found the time.
DOSCab will run on a P133 with 32 MB of RAM with a classic skin.  It's been tested down to a P100, although not extensively.   With a CD skin it would probably be choppy.

Now seriously, I think the order in which this request is posted is somewhat of a wrong nature.
I mean you don't buy 8 computers and then starts asking what to do with them.
A better tactics would be like:

Hey guys, there is an Atomic russian submarine on ebay, do you think it would be possible for me to use that periscope on my cab ? (I really don't need all the remaining silly stuff).
Thanks

That would actually be a hella cool upgrade for a Battlezone.

Yep. From the rest you could just build a submarine for blinds.

Heh, beowulf cluster and solve pi, even though today's computers would still be faster at that.

Well, I never thought of it this way. You may be right, though the consequences might be unpredictable
