Depending on your machine workloads with 8 cores and 64GB of ram you have enough system to run multiple guests. You could start with 2 cores on one guest and watch your workload. Most game servers are not very intensive and it is likely if you used more than 2 cores to start they would be sitting idle.

If you beef up your storage space you could run your own cloud storage. (recommend a battery backup)

You could run a virtual PBX and setup free telephone service in the US and Canada with Google voice and a SIP provider and then start a call center to sell whatever service you wanted.

You could host your own website to be used in conjunction with your call center.

You could create a newznab server to index NNTP and kick the torrent habit.

You could also do the same thing with Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 and its built in hyper-v if you wanted to have a Windows foundation, though you would be running Windows all the time over the virtual machines and that would take more of the resources away from the guests.

I really like KVM/QEMU/Virtualzation though :p. I feel like that's a boat load of hardware for a simple media server though...
