10+ Retro PCs from 386 to Pentium 4 (with all the obligatory graphics cards (3DFX, TNT2 Ultra, PowerVR etc.), sound cards (GUS, Adlib, SB Pro, AWE32/64, etc.) and MIDI modules (Roland MT-32, SoundCanvas, etc.) And the parts to build 30+ more in the basement.

6 or 7 Sun Machines, SGI O2, a few Cobalt RaQ (CacheRaQ, Velociraptor) (both MIPS and x86). Also in the basement.

5 HP Microservers (one with a "low power" Xeon running 24/7). ~50W

3 "Low power" Xeon servers (two 4 cores and one 20 cores). One running 24/7 ~60W.

3 Intel NUC's. One is my daily driver (FreeBSD).

15+ Laptops (mostly IBM/Lenovo), and even an old 386.

6 PCEngines APU4C4 (firewalls) two running 24/7 ~7W each.

7 Soekris NET4801, 2 NET4501 (my old firewalls and NTP servers).

7 Raspberry PIs (mostly 4s with 8GB).

My plan is to have one APU (~7W) + one Server ~60W running 24/7. I have 7 APC power units to allow me to turn all the other stuff on and off remotely. Most of this stuff is in my lab (GF decided I needed my own room for some reason). Most of the stuff not ready to run is stored in the basement.

I have a lot more than these but this is just from the top of my head. Pretty sure that I have 100+ all in all.

I don't. I have thought about it a few times.
