I have all these old VGA cables and composite video cables and DVI cables. What am I going to do with those?

Home theater cables too: component video and RCA video / audio and coax. Why?? Actually, I got on a coax kick recently and set up an OTA antenna wired to every room. Now that I think of it, keeping that cable collection paid off!
