I am so nasty. In my house in Whiterun, I had a small collection of ingots. I thought it would cool to put each type in they're own bins, So I found/stole a bunch of baskets and buckets, and lined them up against the living room wall. I had such a fun time sorting through my pile of ingots... until I ran out. I still had a half dozen baskets... I needed more INGOTS... MORE. so I went out and spent my entire fortune on ingots to fill my baskets.

The sad thing is- I have no desire to smith.

have you created a robot using dwemer struts and such that you keep in your bed?

I just have stacks and stacks of gold ingots in my house to make up for the fact that I played through Dead Money for New Vegas in such a manner that I would be able to carry out all those bars of gold at the end, only to find that they weren't moveable like other objects and couldn't actually display the blasted things in my house.
