In my case, and I suspect several others, I've spent more on storage fee's,

spent more on documentation than the collection itself (unless you count a
pair of the Alpha's, at which point I'm not sure).

i spent 10 times the price($1) that i paid for my Sun IPX for a Transceiver
(aui to twisted pair) to connect to my network, and another $10 for a serial
null-modem adapter from radioshack.. no i can't solder cables to save my
life, maybe if i had a $50 temp controlled iron i could.. but that's more
money than the adapter :)

I still figure I've spent more on the shelves to
hold the collection
than
the collection itself, if I factor in the cost of the renovations now
I _know_ I've spent more on connectors, cable, magnetic media,
replacement chips, etc than I've spent on classic computer systems....
