I am pretty steadfast against starting a "museum" of old computers and parts. I tend towards a more minimalist aesthetic in general. My girlfriend wouldn't put up with all that old junk for ten minutes, anyway.
I could be convinced to keep a collection of laptops: at least they don't take up much room.
Speaking of laptops, one of my new clients has a vintage Powerbook 140 sitting in the server room. I held up my 12" Powerbook G4 next to it, and the entire PBG4 was just about as thick as the bottom half of the Powerbook 140 case alone. That's progress!
