My 128D isn't the funky plastic one with the carry handle. It's the metal case one. Still a thing of beauty though as it's mint. Same goes with my Pet 2001, although that's at the repair shop with a screen fault currently.

I remember the Enterprise. Wasn't that the one with the built in joystick? It was part of the pantheon that came out during the buzz of the early 80s, alongside such others as the Mattel Aquarius, Lynx (Camputers), Color Genie etc. I miss the diversity of designs that were in computer stores back then.

Another desirable one would be the Pet that had the C64 inside it. Can't remember what that one was called.

I have an C128Dcr. (the metal one) It is not mint but is not in a bad shape. The setup has an extra 1571. It used to have the 1084S from the A500 series (the beige one) but I ran out of storage space so kept the 'white' (not that white anymore) 1084s that goes with the A600.

I don't have a real dream setup. I think I already have more than I can use. Currently my A1200 is setup in all its glory. My A600, 2 spare very yelow A1200, and my C128dcr are sitting in my basement. Does not justify getting more equipment. Allthough I could not say no to the free A500+A590 comming my way soon. Maybe I should sell some stuff.

My all time favourite is definitely an A3000+ - apart from the small form factor it's got everything I want, including the nice A3000 case.
Just flavor with a '060/PPC card, a nice video card and ethernet -  :roll: yeah, dream on...

Well, I just picked up a C128D in its box with datasette and tonnes of games, manuals, etc all in original boxes and in mint condition (it's the plastic one with the handle, not the metal one) for $10 AUD ($5 US)  :-D So I'm happy with that.  
I would like to add an A3000 or A4000 to my collection though.  I'd also like a Sega Nomad (not quite so retro, or a computer, but still I'd like one).  I've got a great Game Gear collection (I have about 5 of the handhelds themselves and 3 TV Tuners) but I'd love to track down a Nomad sometime.

X68000.  Any Acorn Archamedes would do me too!
