I don't really like printers

Test Domain Server
I've had a test server a few times since we've switched to a 2003 domain. We've been growing so quickly that my test servers keep getting reallocated as production servers. I now have an older, slower Dell PE1850 to serve that function. Given it's age/performance, it won't be yanked for production. We'll be able to try some things that we just don't want to risk on production boxes.

SPSS Cost Savings and Feature Adds
I've been working to streamline our recurring costs to the Institution. SPSS is used Campus-wide. We have a network license and several single-user instances. The single user instances are very costly. With the latest SPSS, we can re-up the single user instances into the network license. Furthermore, we can install SPSS on the Terminal Server Cluster to increase avialability (off campus use) and lower install time.
Typically whenever SPSS is updated, the faculty that use it call for the same to be done to their machines. If we maintain it solely on TS, then I need only update a central location.
Money is saved.
Man-hours are saved.
Functionality is increased.
Performance is increased.
What a deal :-)
