Moved into a much larger house and I finally got the room and space I always wanted for my collection. Here are some pictures (with descriptions in order)

1) Large desk area. The computers under are in order from left to right: AMD X4 (Linux server) then 286, 386, 486, Pentium MMX, P2@400, P3@833, P4@2.66Ghz. Various monitors, amplifier, SC50, soldering station, etc. The video cards on the wall are also categorized: nVidia, ATI, Trident/S3, 8-bit VGA cards.

2) Bookshelves next to my desk. This is where my console game collections (from Atari 2600 to Playstation 4 and everything in between is). This is also where my big box games are. I also own a lot of IBM and HP documentation. As well as Apple, TI, Atari, Tandy, etc documentation that is hard to find nowadays.

3)First part of my systems. Columns from left to right are like this: IBM to the left, Apple in the middle and DEC/DIgital the right column.
IBM: 5150, 5160, XT-286, P70 portable, PCJr (with correct monitors, printers, Model M keyboard, etc).
Apple: Macintosh Plus, IIsi, eMate 300, Performa 6115CD, PowerMac 7300/180
DEC: PDP-11, Microvax 3100, Rainbow 100 (with printers, etc).

4)TV attached consoles. Lots of them, anything you can think of: Atari 2600 (original), Intellivision, Atari 800, Commodore, Sony Playstation, Tandy Color Computer etc

5) Last part of my systems' collection: column on the left is mostly Tandy and the one on the right is mostly HP. But there are other systems too: Atari 1040ST, Amiga 500, SWTCP 6800, Heathkit, Tandy 1000 etc. The big TV is for more "modern" consoles such as Sony Playstation 2 and 3 and Nintendo Wii.

Overall view. The place in front of all the computer is my "holodeck" 😀. That is where I have the HTC Vive room scale VR set up.

Very impressive. I'd centralize and put up a large TV that is connected to all currently running systems.

Thank you. The way things are set up right now is all the old (pre Playstation 2, so pre-2000) consoles connected to a CRT TV. Everything from Playstation 2 onwards is connected to a modern LCD TV. This helps with things like correct aspect ratios. Plus much nicer to see a Commodore 64 on a CRT TV 😀

Looks like it would qualify for the "Vogons" official headquarters. If I had that "spread" wouldn't see daylight for weeks.
