Do you have a network of computers?  Sometimes a command-line only box
is useful to test networks.  Then there's using a low powered box to run
various low powered services (DNS, DHCP, non-database webserving,
jukebox fileserver, etc.).

I have something even worse than that as a DNS, HTTP, DHCP, NTP, mail,
and central fileserver.  Albeit still running a very old version of
Fedora.  I've thought about shifting it to CentOS, to avoid using an out
of date server, or repeatedly having to update a server (which can be a
pain).
