I know well of what you speak. I have to alternate my console systems
(ie. one right-side up and the other on top of it top-side down) to get
any kind of efficient storage going. On the other hand, the CP/M mini's
that I have are all flat-top steel boxes that stack quite well.

The last weekend I finished up on a rugged shelf I built from 2x4s and
plywood. It has 4 shelves (top included) each with a surface area of
abour 4' x 5' and holds my old computer collection nicely. Its a hell of
a lot nicer than having everything stacked along side my pool table. Now
I can play pool again.
