I used to think I was unique in my pack-rat like behaviour regarding old machines. People give me funny looks when I pull over on the side of the road and grab a PC that someone has trashed. My wife has begun refusing to enter thrift stores with me on the grounds that I have too much crap already.
So for the record, here's what I have, from memory and not complete.
Atari 2600 (4 and 6 switch versions, not really a computer but fun)
Vic 20
Commodore 64 (6 including the one my parents bought Christmas 1984)
IBM PS/2 model 30 (8086)
IBM PS/2 Model 50Z (with Kingston 486slc card & 8MB MCA adapter)
Zenith 386SX-16 upgraded with TI 486SLC/2 66, ISA large HDD adapter & 8.4 GB HDD) surfs the net and runs Win 95 My favorite!!
IBM PC-AT 5170
Dell 286 AT
Whitebox 486 DX/33 with Micronics board (16 30 pin simm slots!)
Whitebox TI486 DX/2 80 ( I paid $1200!)
Whitebox Intel P-60 with F-div bug
Toshiba Satellite 205CDS (paid $1700!)
Intergraph workstation with dual Pentium 200 CPUs w/o MMX (currently broken)
Generic AT case circa 1984 containing Micronics dual PPro 200 512K cache 256 MB EDO (future file server)
