Old wires and cables, what to do with them?

Doing a big clear out at the moment, and have found loads of old computer wires and cables. I have no use for them, but at the same time am at loath to throw them away. Anyone know what I could do with them.

I guess I could take them to a charity shop, but any other ideas?

Oh, should add, thought about ebaying, but they will not really fetch anything (i.e. they won't fetch anything).

Thanks!!

    Got to agree with Lee they don't take much storing and they are really expensive not to mention elusive on a Friday night when your mate has a problem with their set up! I keep all mine in a box in the loft
