Server Chassis

Does anyone have any good uses for old rack mount server chassis?  I have 5-8 of them, 1U and 2U mostly.  The servers themselves still work, but they are pretty old and I really don't need 5-8 of them running here at the house anyway!  I thought about trying to turn one into rack mounted storage but I would only like that idea if I had more drive bays and I don't feel like spending any money on this project.

So, what do you, or should I, do with these things?

What are the specs? Do they consume stupendous amounts of power?

I've got all kinds of stuff.  Yeah, most of the servers aren't worried about eating large amounts of electricity.

1. IBM eServer xSeries 346
2. IBM eServer xSeries 336
3. Acer Altos G710
4. Supermicro - dunno model
5. Barracuda Spam Firewall 300
6. Barracuda Spyware Firewall 310
7. Some other Net filter in a 2U chassis

And the a couple more things that I didn't write down.
