Tech Hoarding
I have to admit, I do this sort of thing too: hold onto old gadget gear long past its due date. Do I really think I'll ever need the old Zip drives I have in a box somewhere? And, like the story I linked to, I have two drawers of stuff in my office (and a few boxes in the basement). The 1997 era laptops will probably never be booted again, either :)
The scary part is that some of those cables are still in their original shrinkwrap...
