@trezzer 8 years later, I still sort of regret ditching by cabinets of retro consoles. But I'm at mostly at peace with it now, partially because of Steam Deck and emulation in general.
And for what it's worth, there's a strange form of regret also attached with having all that hardware and barely turning it on. The anxiety of wondering how long it will keep working, etc.
it's a tough decision. Good luck!
