It seems to me that it would not be much fun to just have boxes stored up to the ceiling in some big walk-in closet. Where do you keep 400 chess computers? Do you have them on display? It seems you might even make a real museum out of them to me. If not that, then an online museum might also be nice. The only dedicated chess computers I ever played against were the very first models, and I am afraid that they were not very good at the time (late 1970's). I imagine that since that time, they improved a lot. I play against a computer so much now, that I greatly prefer the 2-D screen to a real chess board.
