How do you finance/afford your computer collection?

Hi
 Being single and owning my own home helps. I'm still
in the early stages and haven't considered larger
machines. My IMSAI and NIC-80 are the larger of the bunch.
Sill, I can define what I think are appropriate usages of
space.
 My problem is that I also like collecting and working on
early solid state controlled pin ball machines. These do
tend to take more space than I'd like. A couple are folded
up to make room for more and I have one on semi-permanent
loan to a neighbor. If that one ever has troubles, it
may loose its space and then I'm in troubles.
 Old data manuals take more space than the computers. I still
have to get some shelves to see what I have. Shifting heavy
boxes, full, around to find the manual I need is getting
to my aging back.
