I had a garage with a folding table set up with old hardware at one point, but I downsized to a house with no garage. All my legacy OSes are running in VMs under a Proxmox server in a little homelab I set up out of "distressed" hardware.

The main server is a Thinkpad with a dim screen and missing keys. It would, however, support a SATA-3 SSD and 32 GB of RAM, so it's a server with a built-in UPS.  :)

It runs the BBS, a test Windows AD environment, a couple of Linux installs for testing, and DOS, Windows95 and Minix VMs. Not all at once, though.
