I am in a similar predicament.

There are two reasons why I keep the boxes:
1.  To be able to take inventory of my LEGO collection.  I haven't tallied
everything in several months, but I maintain a spreadsheet that tracks the
number of pieces in my collection and my average cost per piece, based on
knowing exactly how many of each set I have purchased.
2.  Some of the alternate models depicted on the boxes are really cool, and
I keep telling myself that I'm going to build some of them someday.

I decided (finally) to get rid of mine. I solved problem 1 by still
having the set instructions, and #2 by realizing I never will get around
to building their alternate creation. :)

Besides, what can you build out of the boxes? They stick together worse
than Megabloks...
