You gotta be joking! Large numbers of various systems. Includes Video Toaster! Starts with a TI-59 and works up. Use your imagination.
Prefers tube radios from the '30's.

Oh, I can contribute here!
Cut my teeth replacing the power supply and bad video chip on my Dad's apple II plus. My collection has only grown since then. Fully tricked out breadbin C64 with 1541 disk drive, 1702 monitor, datasette, two of the later style commodore joysticks, some commodore paddles, an MPS 801 printer, and a ton of manuals and the liked. Vic-20 with the early atari style commodore joystick and an early datasette with games and carts and all that. 4K Level 1 TRS-80 with matching monitor and cassette drive. TI-99/4A with Peripheral expansion box, voice synth, acoustic coupler, TI printer, joysticks, later style TI monitor, and some games. Blue trim commodore PET 2001 Early style Atari 800 with 810 disk drive and 410 datasette IBM 5150 with IBM 5151 monitor, IBM 5152 printer, and IBM 5153 CGA monitor and matching CGA card Mattel Aquarius with matching datasette, printer, memory expansion, and expansion box Coleco adam with original joysticks, two data drives and a coleco floppy drive Bally Astrocade (if you consider it a computer) with the basic cartridge and two joysticks I've just recently added an RCA COSMAC VIP with the original box and manual, which is pretty exciting. I'm still on the hunt for an IBM 5100, Heathkit H8, Apple III, IBM PCjr, Apple Macintosh 128, MOS KIM-1, Xerox 820, TRS-80 Color Computer, CompuColor 1, Intertec Superbrain, and a TI-99/4. I'll probably decide I want something else the moment I complete my collection, though.

I mainly work in the high-end but yes, I do have an extensive collection from the likes of Sun Microsystems, IBM, Silicon Graphics, NeXT, Apple, Tandy, Hewlett Packard, DEC, and LOTS of OEM branded PC's from people like NCR, Packard Bell, GRiD, Compaq and the likes.

I tryed to strart a collection, but dind't get anything that was very good, so I stoped doing it. Well, I had an 386 computer with 286 processor, but there wasn't too much that I could do with it so I gave it way (to a collector).
I have an "A.M.D." 1800+ computer on which I run the XP. Some stuff won't work on '7'. But I can't really consider it collectable, trough all that is obsolete tech. To be onest, I want something for the XP, but to te a better system. Probably in the future I will ask some one to make an system that can run '95' and '98' - in order that I can use some scanners that probably won't work on newer computers (I've seen some nice old scanners). Oh, well, if I find an Romanian old desktop computer (we've assambled some) probably I will keep it.

I never want to see another Commodore 64 again as long as i live, I HATE them with a passion , my first job ever was in a small computer store , and I had to repair thousands of them, they failed all the time, they were awful.
my first pc was an IBM PC jr, which i modded the hell out of, then i upgraded to a 386DX clone, and i have been building my own pcs since, and i'm proud to say Im a AMD only slut now.

Really late checking in....
I do, hang out at Vogons and VCFED a lot What I've got? 1985 Tandy 1000A - 640K, 8088, 3GB HDD, XT-IDE, Deluxe Mouse, I use this one with my NEC Multisync II CRT a lot 1989 Apple Mac SE FDHD - 4MB, 68000/6, Original HDD, all original actually and working 1989 GEM 286/12 - 6MB, 286/12 w/ 80287, 3GB SCSI w/ 2X CD-ROM, SVGA, SB16 1994 NEC Versa 40EC Laptop - 486 DX2-40 SL, 8MB, 250MB, SVGA, Active Matrix TFT LCD (Which oddly is still easy to find and replace, NL6448AC30) 1994 NEC Versa M/75 Laptop - 486 DX4-75 SL, 24MB, 80GB, SVGA, Crystal Business Audio, Same Active Matrix TFT, 3M MicroTouch Digitizer (which I'm replacing, cracked), yes, it has capacitive touch and it's from the early 90's - it was a part of an AAC setup from Words+ whom I read was an early provider of augmentative speech equipment for Stephen Hawking. Still have the Words+ System 2000 Commpac unit that was attached to it too - I have plans to use it to "sing" into Autotune while recording  I also put WiFi in it which I Tether to my phone.Parts Mutt XT 486 - New Old Stock Case I bought in 04 (XT), Socket 3 FIC board, Drive caddies so it has 8-80GB HDDs for it running everything a 486 can run pretty much. AMD DX4-100, 64MB of RAM, S3 805 2MB VESA video, SoundBlaster AWE64, DVD-RW drive (!!), it actually eats the Pentium below for lunch by virtue of the video card and lighter OSes (95 OSR 2.5, FreeDOS, and WFW 311) NEC Ready 9522 - Pentium 100, 128MB RAM, 80GB HDD, Win98SE, 52x CD-RW, Alliance Video, Crystal audio. I use this for later games that don't run on anything else. Lately I've had a really big taste for NEC Stuff.....while my 486 desktop is probably my favorite of the desktops, the NEC M/75 has been growing to be my favorite computer of the lot.....I hammer on that one almost daily more like it's a "tweener" than a full blown vintage-only device by virtue of various modernized DOS apps (Links browser, mTCP).

@ Mad-Mike : I think you wanted to write that the "Tandy" haves a 3 MB, not a 3 GB hard disc.

NEC you say? Have I got a deal for you...
I have a boatload/plethora of NEC Versa Pentium I systems. Like maybe 4-5 laptops, accessories out the proverbial wazoo, and 6-8 of the VCR-style auto-eject docking stations, that let you add full-size PC cards, extra hard drives, extra floppies, etc. to the base laptop. Plus, I'm getting ready to move, so I'm somewhat motivated. PM me if you decide life isn't complete without owning a few of these retro battlestations. Plus, for the right deal, I'll throw in an authentic NEC Ultralite setup from the DAK buyout days. Pretty complete setup as I recall. Awful display, of course. Battery life measured in minutes. But nearly as slim as a current MacBook air.
