I bought these for $50 a pop. Got 6 of them shipped for more than i paid for the machines.

Anyway, I'm putting gentoo on these bad boys now. Any idea how/what I should do to get the CPU lights working ("blinkenlights" from the BeBox days)?

No clue on the lights, but congrats! How did you swing that deal?

Pretty cool, where are you going to put them and what are you going to do with them?

That is cool. It's sort of like MDDs in rack mount cases. Do any of them have the dual E-net feature?

All 6 of them do. I put gentoo on one of them, and it was surprisingly easy to setup and configure.
