Kind of a strange request,
I was recently given a few old macs, 2 Quadra 650's and a Classic SE,
they all work, but don't have any software on them, just all of old preference files. Does anyone know of a good web site to get software for these. The quadras are running 7.5 and the SE is running 7.0, but that is missing some of the system stuff to.
Any help would be very appreciated.

You can upgrade the Quadra to MacOS 8.1, but I would recommend going only to MacOS 8.0. For the SE, you can upgrade it to System 7.5.5. As for software, it would help things mightily if you would narrow things down by telling us what you want to do.
 
I think that I would like to use one of them as like a digital picture frame, the rest i don't know, maby just to run some old classic games, or just to look cool. I have them set up around my tv, and on old imac now, so if i could just get them to display fun images that would be cool to.
This is what it looks like now
