I am holed up in my loft room. This is where I work and play.

Laptops: It looks like I have a ~7 work laptops, a suitcase of just old laptops, a few retro laptops on a shelf.
Workstations: It looks like ~3 modern PCs (one for AI workflows), ~3 retro gaming PCs, and some other boxes.
Displays: There are ~4 modern widescreen displays, one TV/monitor, ~4 retro displays (I like 4:3 in particular).
Speakers: Mostly in storage boxes, but I have pre-amps and other connectors on desks.
Keyboards: I have only one working PS1 keyboard, only one working PS2 keyboard, and multiple Apple USB keyboards.
Cameras: There's a shelf of Pentax gear.

Then the draws or other furniture. There are drawers packed with graphics cards. Drawers packed with sound cards. Then there's the "bits box" with stuff that will probably never see daylight again.

If SWMBO comes up here, I'm toast! Q. "What's this? What's that? How do I know what you have on those HDDs!"

She'd have me take it all to the tip. Or, in your framing, throw myself in the tip! 😁

Sell it, sell myself.. hmm..

SWMBO is logical. She'd ask "Why do you need so many computers?" and my answer would be, "I don't know. Maybe they each remind me of a past crush.. " 😉
