There's enough mass in the solar system to create a habitable Dyson Sphere 2km thick [slashdot.org] around Sol.

The Iron Core of the Earth is big enough to create a ring (aka Ringworld) around the Sun in the habitable zone - walls 20Km high, atmosphere held in by centripetal force.

I know there is at least one site out there someone with details on this, but all my good links are gone in the great IT Security directive 9 months back.
