[Cialug] Good uses for smaller disks?

I found in my supply good IDE 80G, 120G and 200G drives. I have three servers (one is being decommissioned though, so two servers) that have IDE capability. They run VMs, for example, a Git server, Minecraft, Windows VMs for web testing, etc.

What would you do? My choices are:
1. Throw them away
2. Use them for application specific storage
3. Add them to the overall storage pool in some way

matt$ ssh arthur df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        67G   37G   27G  58% /

matt$ ssh ford df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1        73G   23G   47G  33% /

matt$ ssh trillian df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       458G   70G  365G  17% /
