heh.  I used to do that.

At its peak, my home comp lab consisted of:

my windows gaming box (of course)
a locked down windows workstation for confidential stuff like Quicken
Sun SparcServer 10 w/ disk array
Sun SparcClassic
DEC AlphaStation 4/100
IBM RS/6000 model 350
NeXT Turboslab
Various x86 machines running: OS/2 Warp 3.0, Novell Netware 4.11, Slackware Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD.

Plans were in place to acquire a m68k series Mac, an early PowerMac, and an SGI machine.

I also had a stack of x86 hardware awaiting configuration with BeOS, NeXTStep X86, Plan9, and a small beowulf cluster..

The month the SparcServer w/ disk array went online, my electric bill went from under $200/mo to over $400/mo.  I shut the lab down in a hurry.  It took a few years after that, but I've finally divested myself of all of that hardware.

I'd love to do it all again, but I can't afford it.
