I'm 45 and have a similar addiction. I decided to limit myself to just one system; a C64 decked out with old and modern accessories. I do have C64-SX and Apple II, but that was before I limited myself. Hell, I passed up (on Craigslist) a PET with dual floppies. Also an eBay within driving distance an Imsai 8080 with dual 8" floppies and Heath H19 terminal, loaded with S100 cards. It's really more about the room than the money. Most of these things are cheap, but I don't want to turn into a hoarder. I did that years ago (pre marriage) with old UNIX workstations; Sun, HP, SGI. I got rid of them all. Also helps to know that there are millions of some of these systems out there. How many C64 were made, 20 million? It's not like I have something rare and unique; most would consider it junk. Also, CRT cost $20 each to recycle now. It's easy for this to become a money pit. My father in law had 10 old monitors in his basement he got for "free". Well it wasn't free to get rid of them.
