When mine outgrew my garage + storage unit I moved into ~1400sqft of
commercial space. It's very nice (although no a/c). I thought it would
have enough space to house my collection + space to work + all the other
stuff. I've since expanded into 2 10x25 storage units also to house the
overflow.
There's enough space (and just as important enough 3-phase power) to be
able to power up and run significant parts of my collection (at
once)...unless I power up the KL10...then there's about enough for that,
a couple of terminals and maybe the lights. :-)
Having the space is nice since I can set up the machines so that I can
actually use/work on them. Something I couldn't do (easily) before I
moved. It's also a bit easier to bring people over and display the
collection.
