Well, up until recently, that would have been my Computer Room. Over the
last six years or so, we had (all operational) a couple of 11/785s, an
11/780, an 8600, four 8800s and an 8820. Not to mention various MicroVAXes
(II and III), VLCs and 3100s.

Now, the computer room has two 6620s, a 6530, a 6440, 3100/90, a few VLCs
and that's about it (on the VAX side of things, naturally there are plenty
of VMS alpha systems but they're hardly old :-)

Store room has MicroVAXes, 11/83, too many HSC70s :-), Star Coupler and the
pride of the collection a 6240 with Unibus (yes, Unibus as well as BI).
