Good thread. Thanks for opening it!
I only had in the day an Spectrum 48k, as the Commodore (which I had at school) was too expensive. That was in the 80's. In the 90´s I bought a Sega Megadrive (Sega Genesis outside) with lots of games.
 
It was last year I saw a C64 for sale at Ebay as broken, and thought of using it as a keyboard with the Keyrah card. The thing was that after buying it I coudn't dismount it (I was so sorry...), so I started to look at Google and finally changing some chips I could make it work. That was the beggining of "something", as I coudn't give of buying more parts... 1541 floppy drive, Datasette, and I began to buy some games to have them in the original way they came at the time (but yes, I have too a floppy emulator, and recently bought another: http://c64sd.roxer.com/)
 
Later I bought a Snes and a Super FX Game Converter to play USA games on it too, as several games for it. Later I bought the A1200 Amiga, 1260 Blizzard and lots of modifications...
 
The most recent adds on to the collection are a Mega Cd (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6XE5CyRiXU) for my Megadrive (wich I've modified: http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/sega/md1switches.htm)
 
And the last one I received last week was an A330 Dingoo, wich I've modified to play Dingux and too so I can see it at the Tv directly. With it I can use a wireles joystick and play MAME and others, even Scumms like Full Throttle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PktBJ6HpNJQ&feature=related), and even play WinUAE4all...
 
Ah, I've got too 3 Nintendo Game&Watch. As "Modern" consoles I only have an old modified PS2.

A1200, Lateral 32GB CF, internal Dvd, ACA 1230/56 with an MKII Fast ATA at 9,5Mb/s, another A1200 BPPC project in progress (more or less), and posting from my own/better C64x in my Tv using Hdmi.
