What do you do with your old PC hardware?

I'm a electronic packrat, I hate to throw out old electronics or PC parts. Right now I have an old 300mhz pentium I trying to figure out how to salvage. I'd like to turn it into a massive storage server with a stripped down copy of linux or something similar. Is it possible to find a box and adapter that would let me house 10 or 15 old hard drives? If so I could have an awesome data server.

Shouldn't be that hard to rig that up.
If it's usable, I fix it up and give it to my relatives (my mom and my brother are both running machines that I gave them)

1) trash
2) fs forum
3) I have the processors of all my outdated PCs sitting as somewhat of a shrine on the top of my desk.
