Wow, that's gotta be at least $100 worth of equipment.

Still not as cool as what I have under my bed. ^_^

Fuck throwing 'em out, sell them on eBay. If you really want to get rid of them, send them to me and I'll sell them, 'cause LSD costs money nowadays.

This time I'm going to throw out most boxes, but only because they can't fit under my bed anymore.

I thought I was bad. I have the equivalent of one of your stacks. Definitely time to purge the empty boxes. Possibly only keep what you actually still have and are using.
This is only my opinion, I could be wrong.

I have gotten rid of the ones that meet the following criteria:
Expired Warranty (or otherwise wouldn't care if the product died)
Ugly
Empty
No Significance (ex: Athlon XP 2500+ box kept because it was my first)

Following this criteria, I only managed to throw away 2-3 stacks worth.. Oh well though. :] I'll throw away some of the case boxes once I fit all the leftover smaller boxes into them and see if there are still empty case boxes.

Fruits of elimination and compression:

Case boxes are mostly full, speaker boxes are kept due to the significance in what they show..
Not only did each one succeed the previous model (T2900, T3000, T3100), each one was $50 with $20 rebate in a span of 4 years where each succeeding model became more cheaply-made with less features than the previous. T2900 had a volume control pod with both volume and bass knobs on the pod as well as Headphone and Mic jacks and an M-Port that their USB-port-based mp3 players could plug into for power. T3000 had a smaller subwoofer, a volume control pod with both volume and bass knobs on the pod, but only had the Headphone jack. T3100 had no volume control pod and the volume control was on the right side speaker, while the bass control was on the back of the subwoofer. Each model lost convenience and quality while retaining price even when given 4 years to advance and mature.
