I just watched an episode of hoarders and I thought to myself, hmm, I have some of those tendencies. Although I keep my activities to a discreet list of machines (and associated products) I’ve owned previously.
What about everyone else? Are there some feelings of "my stuff is encroaching on my living space?"
Hmm, I got a room for my computers and some consoles, but I got tons of old and new hardware in my basement, can't throw it away when it works and I keep thinking I will need it sometime.
I also save some broken things, but mainly because when I have time I desolder connectors/chips and other good parts for saving.
Tho often I really need it in the future when doing a project and then I save time not hunting ebay for some strange thingmagog.
But even if I have quite some stuff I don't just save it in a big burning pile on the floor, I know where my stuff are and i categorize all quite good
If im a hoarder? Nah, ill say im a tech junkie/geek
Edit: Outside my computer room I mostly have HTPC's and some consoles hooked up to my big TV in the living room, but sure when I work with something it can takes space in my living room for a few days ^^ If i could I would replace the x86 HTPC with my RaspberryPI board or a beagleboard but the x86 machine is a great emulator machine so it stays a bit more.
My biggest problem must be that I can't leave anything alone, if I get my hands on a console or obscure hardware or even ARM based boards I have to get Linux running on it and have to make hardware mods just because it's fun.
