I've got an 8 Gb IDE hard drive from way back in the day, what should I do with it?

I recently decided to upgrade the hard drive in one of my older servers from an 8Gb Western Digital Caviar from '99 to a faster 80 Gb Seagate Barricuda, and this leaves me with a fairly useless low capacity drive.

Any ideas on what to do with it?

How are you supposed to turn an internal hard drive into speakers?

I've seen it done, but it always ends up sounding like crap.

Also, that server originally had a 650 Mb hard drive, until I got it about two years ago. I got the drive out of another old computer that was almost completely dead.
