Been tempted.
The problem with newer PC games is that CD keys are often tied with services like Steam, uDontPlay, Origin and so on... So it can make buying second hand a gamble sometimes. - Plus many publishers don't even bother with a Physical release at all.
Instead... The only Physical PC games I buy are Blizzards titles, the big boxes do look great though.
I'll just stick to collecting digitally on PC and Physical on console.

If you find DosBox to difficult... And it can be for some, there is another alternative... Virtual Machines, just get a copy of Win98 SE and bobs your uncle.
Or you could build a retro machine... The *perfect* Retro PC would probably be something with a Voodoo 3 paired up with a Radeon 8500/Geforce 4 Ti under Windows 98 SE... You can pretty much play any PC game right up to about 2007ish that way... And still get the juicy Glide games in all their Mc'Glory.
