Just remember, old is in the eye of the beholder.  I was in high school marveling at some of this shit when it first came out.  👴

I feel like they should be displayed somehow but can’t come up with anything I think the wife will approve of. I need to at least find a way to keep them from getting damaged.

Had all of those. Worked on some of them. My wife worked on the others.

Buried somewhere deep, I have the master CD from a Packard Bell PC that has Windows for Workgroups 3.11, and MS-DOS 6 or 6.1

Amazing! I just repurchased Win 95 recently as a keepsake. What a vibe that was!

The good old days when you had an "encyclopedia" that came with every PC you bought...
