What brought me back to collecting was a visit to the Orioles Museum near Camden Yards about six years ago. I saw some baseball cards in a display case, was in the process of remodeling my rec room and that was it. I decided to start buying cards for display in my room (with my wife's permission of course).
BTW, I've tried all different types of cases. One that I really like is:

It looks great, the cards don't fall forward like in other cases and it also locks.
I just had some work done in my room so I'll post my pic's later.
Let's see your display rooms!
