Your accumulated 3.x list?

My book shelves are 3 feet long per section, and I have 12 sections filled up, plus three more boxes filled up and heavy enough that it requires two people to carry them safely. That is ALL of my RPG stuff, though. Not just 3E.

I've got you edged-out.

After 30 years in the hobby, my gaming posessions fill 16 3ft bookshelf sections + 2 3'6"ft tall Elfa carts + a 3'6"x2'x18" stack of Sterilite drawers (Dwarven Forge stuff) + a 5'x16"x12" stack of Sterilite drawers (various plastic minis) + a 3'x9"x9" stack of Sterlite drawers (Rocketmen CMG) + 1 each DDM Red, Blue, Black & White dragons + 2 4'x2'x2' trunks (M:tG Alpha-6thEd) + 18 cardboard double card boxes of various other CCGs + 34 Chessex Minis boxes + 2 3' portfolio tubes + 1 6' portfolio tube + 1 6'x5'x18" Intermetro commercia shelf system (5 levels) filled with my boxes of Dragon and Dungeon magazines and unopened boxes of minis.

And that is after I purged a lot of stuff at Half-Price Books...

So, if you have less than that, you're probably OK! :)

I have 44 3.xE WotC books.

I have the Rules Compendium and Exemplars of Evil on my wish list for 3.5E books. There are about 10 other WotC 3.5E books (half of them adventures) that I'll get if the price is right.

On top of that I have about 55 3rd Party books for 3.xE, all the Dungeon issues from about #90 to #150 (except for #119) as well as at least 55 3.x books in PDF format (all obtained legitimately).

I'm at the stage now where I'll probably have to eBay at least half a dozen of my hardcover books before I buy any more.

What a question...

Hm. A couple of minutes with a tape measure tells me 78 linear feet of shelf space, four filing cabinet drawers, and an assortment of piles and boxes, plus all the .pdf purchases on disk. Of course that is thirty years worth and every game system I own: the 3.0-3.5 stuff is probably only 7-8 feet.
Perhaps fortunately, most of the 3.0-3.5 stuff turned out to be fairly useless. These days I mostly take along the Players Handbook, a Monster Book (as needed for whatever I've got in mind), Eclipse: The Codex Persona, The Practical Enchanter, Character Sheets, and a Map. Once in a while a psionics book or sourcebook with advanced technology equipment lists, but that isn't usually necessary: most of the players use Dweomer or Witchcraft from Eclipse if they want a Psychic and you rarely need equipment lists after you set up the characters.
Of course, that's not quite twice the space the cookbooks take up and its well behind the mystery novels and science-fiction/fantasy categories: nobody here can bear to throw away a book.

Strange how it feels better knowing there are worse addicts out there than yourself.

Switch over to buying in pdf format. It doesn't feel as bad when you look over a hundred file names compared to a hundred books on another shelf. And it is easier to store and move.
