This is HN, not a psychologist forum. I mean most people won't be able to help you as they are not experts on addictions.
They will tell you: "just sell them", but the problem is that you will have an emotional attachment that will make it nearly impossible. I for one sold my Spectum Z80, Atari, and Apple computers without thinking about it and they were part of my life because I care little about things, I care about animals or people.
I will ask those who know: psychologists, specifically someone specialized in breaking habits. If you don't have money you can read self help books or videos audiobooks on libraries, or even pirate them, everything is online, you only need to know what are you looking for.
The other alternative is putting your computers to great use. Create a channel on Internet about old computers history. Donate it to a Museum so other people can watch it and volunteer to explain the history of those computers to audience while they can interact with the machines.
The fact that those machines are useful to other people instead of collecting dust will be a great way of getting rid of...ehem, improving your life.
