What do you do with your old Systems?
All of my portables: Lost them, or they went through the washing machine. RIP DS Lite...
SNES: It still lives. <3 Star Fox (Managed to beat Level 3 several times now), and some of the Super Mario stuff I have on there (World, Kart, and RPG!!!!). Hell, I'm using it right now.
N64: I haven't touched it in awhile. Might pick it up again just to finish Banjo Kazooie and play some Star Fox 64.
Game Cube: I have a Wii, and barely any games for it. Its collecting dust now.
Dreamcast: I wish I had never sold it.
Play Station: Collecting Dust. I only use it when I need to use it when I need to...
Well, I haven't found a use for it x,x. Mine dates back to 1997 and still works. Sadly, I threw out most of my burned PS1 discs.

I only buy general computing systems, no specialized game devices. The time before last I upgraded, I used my old system to create a dual-box / web / mule system for use while playing on main.
This time I just shifted my old main to mule, and then rebuilt the mule system as a FreeBSD firewall and router. I'll eventually make that my mail server, too. No clue what I'll do with the system that is my current mail server.
I probably have enough parts and old cases and stuff to build 3-4 working PCs. They'd be damn slow by today's standards. Totally unsuitable for gaming, but they'd certainly handle anything else people normally do with PCs. I should probably donate the stuff to a local school or other needy cause.

Sold my DC on eBay to part-fund my XBox.
Traded in my XBox to part-fund my 360.
Kept my GBA SP as it's a limited Pokémon Ruby edition

No platforms, but there are partially disassembled computers in both my residences. Been upgrading piece by piece for years now.
Sometimes when I can piece a complete system together from my cast off parts, it goes to a poor friend. Mostly they lack HDs though.

Well, PS2's don't last long enough at my place to be of any use, my PlayStation is still going strong so I still use it, Xbox I gave away when I got my 360, GameCube I gave away, Dreamcast I wish I still had (Ex put her stiletto heel through it) N64...I have no idea where that went, SNES and NES both died after many, many loyal years of service.
Handhelds...either lost or broken.

She wanted to go clubbing and insisted I go with, I wanted to hang out with my buddies and play Soul Calibur. She got pissed, grabbed the Dreamcast, threw it on the floor, gave it a good curb stomping, then said we were through.
Lost my job a week after, few days later a good friend committed suicide, and that sums up the worst part of my life so far.

Still somewhere on my attic, I'll look it up when I move out of this house.

Ps2
My brother has it
Gamecube
Same as the PS2
Xbox
Chipped, functioning as my mediacenter and emulator at the moment.

Currently collecting dust till I get a new game to play.
Occasionally pick it up when I am out of books/manga to read on my way to work.

Oh I also had an Amiga 500 but I wouldn't really call it a console, we probably sold it to someone when we got a 486.
