Sell them all and buy Macs.
That is what I want to do but I don't know how much each of these are worth and where to sell them.
Do something
I would throw them out the window(s) as fast as I can
No, seriously... put large HD's in or sell them, otherwise they are no use.
What you can try is install Leopard on them if it really works

eBay
If you do not know how to sell them, use eBay. Put a high "Buy-Now" price tag on it, and maybe people will bu it if it's worth the money. Depends on the specs.

What are the specs for them? You could probably look them up on eBay to get an idea of how much they are.
Try the marketplace. Somehow I doubt someone will buy all four off of you, but I'm sure that they'll move individually.
They're definitely NOT worthless so don't just give them out.
Here's an example for something on ebay that is probably worse than what you got for free!
Those machines are better than what I've been using as a laptop for the last 6 years. What model number are they? Are they new? If so I might be interested if the price were right...

As far as I know they are Dell Dimension 2400s. I haven't had a chance to look at all of them or even start them up. But everything looks good From the one I did look at they are Celeron Processors with 80 GB hdd. And 512 MB RAM.
They are not new. They were from an office in my building that was moving out and getting rid of everything. They were all I had a chance to grab. I'll probably throw them up on the marketplace once I've had a chance to check them all out. Which may not be until after finals. I would love to somehow get an iMac out of these 4 plus another dell I have.

Well they're going for $75-200 on ebay now so I doubt you'll get enough for an imac, but you'll definitely make a nice bit of cash for them, maybe even enough for a mac mini if you're lucky...
For some reason I thought they were laptops although after reading the post again I don't know why I was under this impression so unfortunately I'm not interested, sorry.

Donate them to a local school or charity. Or, as has been mentioned, install Linux on them and use them as servers/media players/etc. Build a custom modding project, that would be rad since if you screw it up, you have three more machines to try with! Or buy a plank of wood and use them as desk legs.
