That isn't a bad idea actually. I guess the problem might be finding a space to display them in......the original plan was to set up a display in the basement er that was until things got out of control!
Problem was I happened to mention to my IT friends that I was collecting old macs and suddenly the floodgates opened so I don't think you'll have any problems filling up your museum. If these things weren't so heavy (and therefore expensive to ship) I could probably fill in some of the blanks in your collection if I have a double. I do still set up and run some of them. The SE/30 was set up the other day to run a server and I've been tinkering again with my Color Classic II to see why I can't get the LC 575 mb to run on it without a bus error.
