Building storage using existing resources

I have a lot of old desktop grade hardware available with me in stock and lot of spare hard drives. I wanted to know if there is any way I can club them all together and create a storage system.

sure you can. Look into LVM (i assume you want to use linux)

Better Still install ZFS.

isn't that going to limit the usage of disks to the smallest one of them?

look flexraid.com, not for server, but good for home storage.
