Soon I will have a room that i have no idea what I will use it for. Talk about First World Problem.
Do you still have a turntable?
LPs can be easily digitized and cleaned up with readily-available and cheap software. (Some even free.)
All you need is a PC and a cheap pre-amp (I found one at Radio Shack for US$25).
Works pretty good; the CDs I've been burning sound better than the worn LPs they come from.

As for the extra room, put a recliner, a lamp, and a table. A quiet room for reading?
