And CompGeeks has a great line of refurb-ish PCs (HP, eMachine,
etc.) for about $200-$250 each, minus an OS. Very nice,
and just as disposable as more expensive machines when they break.

As for cameras for photographing your collection, I vote
for getting a good one with a lot of memory. More pixels
means more opportunity to crop and zoom. Add a big memory
card and it's so groovy for documenting a new find before
you rip it apart. Just shoot, shoot, zoom, shoot.
Shoot at max res and five years from now you'll be able
to read the labels on the ROMs.

I really like my Olympus C-2500. As a true SLR, I know
what I see will be what I get.
