Hi I work in a Tech Support group that supports a client with open VMS, the Company aquired an old Alpha 1200 Server, and it has Raid, everything works. Looking for ideas on how to play with it.

Start with the VMS doc set - www.hp.com/go/openvms/doc

If you are interested in programming then why not port some freeware to VMS?
Some resources for developers are listed on

and a list of opensource ports can be found at
