The VT52 stacks really well, as does the H19. It's also possible to
unbolt the keyboard from an H19 and replace the cable with a really long
one, which gives you a detached keyboard to set on your lap and a handy
shelf for storing it on when you're not using it.

I once had a setup with six VT52s (two piles containing three VT52s each).
I foolishly built the pile right underneath the thermal cutoff for the
computer room power, so I wound up having to move it.
