I'll bite :)

Aside my A2000....
- c128 (in the loft...)
- A2600 (in the loft...)
- windows 7 big box for heavy duty stuff
- Lenovo W510 with Fedora 17 for work
- Macbook Air for fun & everything else

mostly OS (not UI) agnostic but leaning towards MacOS for ease of use

2000/2060/128mb/2320/2gb/C64-3D/Hydra-Aminet on OS 3.9

c128/1541/1750/1351 with Dolphin Dos and eprom burner

The only thing I really collect besides computers/consoles is LPs - got most of the discography of Yes, Genesis (the real Genesis, not the twee pop band,) ELP, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and other classic progressive rock, plus a bunch of other interesting old thrift-store and record-store finds. I do need to get a nicer turntable and a proper amplifier, though...

As for computers...I've got a handful. I've got:

  • My Commodore 128, tricked out with 64KB VDC, JiffyDOS, and a 512KB REU.
  • The A1200 in my signature, my primary Amiga.
  • An A500, which IIRC has only KS1.3 and 1MB chip/slow RAM, which I mostly have for testing purposes when I finally get around to my game projects...
  • A Macintosh SE/30 in need of recapping - love the design on it, easily the best compact Mac.
  • An iMac G3 (original Bondi model B) that used to belong to my uncle - still have to get his old files off there for him.
  • An iMac G4 (15" 700MHz model) - love the design of this thing, and this is one of the first models, which could still boot OS9 (if it can't boot classic Mac OS, it isn't a real Mac.)
  • A Powerbook G4 (1GHz TiBook) - this is a no-distractions machine for writing and drawing. Might also be a machine to give MorphOS a try on, if they ever start supporting TiBooks...
  • The Power Mac G4 in my signature - MDD model, the last desktop Mac to boot OS9. I don't do enough with this, but it's got a solid video card (Radeon 9800) and runs games pretty well.
  • A Packard-Bell IBM AT clone (12MHz 286.) Don't actually do much with this, but I haven't gotten around to finding a home for it yet.
  • A Tandy 1000RL - one of the last machines to support Tandy graphics and sound, and also probably one of the first low-profile (pizza-box) PCs.
  • A generic 386 box, running a pretty nice Shuttle motherboard with a ton of cache and Am386DX/40 support - pretty zippy, it only chokes up a little on Doom II.
  • A 486 box I'm in the process of assembling - it was going to use the 486 equivalent of my 386 motherboard, but sadly that turned out to be dead - I did, luckily, find a fairly nice board on eBay that supports the 486DX/50, but unfortunately the seller decided to remove the BIOS, so I'm waiting for a guy I know with the same board to dump the EPROM and send me the image...
  • A Packard-Bell Pentium/166 machine - actually pretty crappy, I need to find a new home for this.
  • An Athlon machine I assembled to run Morrowind - not sure what I'm going to do with it, now that I've got...
  • My old P4 gaming rig that I lent to my brother for a while. Nothing extremely mighty, but it runs Oblivion quite satisfactorily, and what more do you need?
  • A little Core 2 Duo uATX box that I use as a combination media-storage machine and audio-editing workstation (it's got a nice high-quality M-Audio sound card in it.)
  • A Pentium III laptop that was my writing machine for a while in place of the Powerbook, until I realized that it was the same weight but over a smaller area, with sharp corners, and that's why my legs hurt so much when I spend too long at a stretch using it. Still sees use as a Win98 machine to drive my EEPROM programmer.
  • A Pentium M machine that's my Haiku-acclimation environment, though it's currently in the middle of getting a little TLC (read: halfway disassembled.)
  • My daily driver, a Core 2 Duo laptop running XP. Not a terribly exciting machine, but a reliable workhorse.
  • A Raspberry Pi that needs more love.
  • And finally, my new favorite thing: my MicroPDP-11. Started as an 11/23, got upgraded to an 11/73 when I found another machine at the recycle center that they let me strip. Super-cool; I've wanted a DEC mini for years, but I've never had the budget or space for one of the classic fridge-sized machines. This is nearly the size of an apartment radiator, but still quite a bit more manageable :D Still need to see if I can get the SCSI controller I got to work with this thing...

In addition to my A500, CD32, and PC, I have a RetroDuo2.0, a couple of Playstations, a Nintendo64, a Dreamcast, a Gamecube, an XBOX360, and various Gameboys.
It seems like a lot when I list it, but most of it is in the closet, and almost all of it was free or close to it.
I really don't see myself buying any more consoles, and my next handheld will probably be a smartphone or tablet.

A lot of my accumulation of PC style ...um... treasure... I got rid of during the move.  All I got at the moment are:
an A2000 that is my DD miggy
A4000, needs to be recapped
my intel macbook that my school gave to me
some AMD box that was Dells bottom line a year or two ago.
A Dell XPS M1710 running win7 - this is my eldest sons box
A raspberry Pi
and then my i7-2600K sandybridge monster with win7, 8, ArchLinux, AOS 3.1, and whavever is catching my fancy at the moment in the linux or AROS or BSD or Haiku world.

I sell everything I don't use.

I have a Hackintosh running OSX and Win 7 (via Parallels),
a Pmac running MorphOS,
Two Intel Atom netbooks,
An Atari 130XE with a Hitachi 63B09E processor,
and a Color Computer 3 (also using the above processor).

I've considered buying an Amiga 4000 or 1200, but AmigaForever seems adequate for whatever MorphOS won't run

Oh, and I guess if you count game machines - an Atari 7800, Sega Genesis, Sega 64, Sega Dreamcast, and a Nintendo Wii

Wow.... back when I was a field engineer for Burroughs, I installed and repaired a giant laser printer that used a pdp 11/34 as a controller.  The beast could do 120ppm in duplex.
