I previously used mine to drive my synchronised Christmas light display. It worked great one year, then for some reason the next year, retrieving the playback position of an audio file in Java was taking nearly a second (previously it was practically instant).

I never figured that out, so I bought a second-hand Mac Mini to power the display instead.
