Default Use old microwave cabinets?

I can think of one use if the shields/seals are intact. As a prototype RF
"silence" cage for testing noisy or low noise amps and such. Perhaps that
Hash generating switching supply or bubble jet printer. The fan should help
keep the gear cool.

What would a Steampunker do with one???
This for example:

Has anyone had the idea of (or actually used) scrapped microwaves as
equipment cabinets for home-brew projects?
Seeing a nice small stainless steel one (physically intact) while at
the garbage dump (tip) other day renewed the thought!
Ideas?
