Found these at the back of my closet

I didn’t even know I owned three Compaqs.

If I remember correctly, the Compaq Evo N110 works fine, the ThinkPad sort of works although sometimes won’t boot and freezes and the other two just don’t work.

Any cool use? Can’t sell them, literally nobody wants them. (I‘m keeping the ThinkPad though)

Everyone wants vintage computers these days, especially Thinkpads. I don't think you'd have too much trouble selling them even if not for a huge amount. Even non-working, depending on what the actual issue is. Might just need a power supply.

I know people want these but I just can’t get rid of them nonetheless. I live in Germany and I set up the two broken ones for like 20€ and nobody wants them.

The issues are a broken hard drive/disk controller on the left Compaq and the bottom Compaq is just falling apart and not displaying anything.

If you can get the one in the back to work at all, then there are options to make it into a lovely X remote station in Linux as is. If I were anywhere nearby (seeing as these are all in German while I'm in Cleveland, I doubt that I am), I could help you have fun with them.
