The majority of my machines are currently in storage. I'll add and/or update the descriptions as I pull them out of storage. Look for threads offering to sell some, too. I'm streamlining to only keep "important" systems, working systems, and only one of each system. At last count, I had somewhere over 60 Macs, and 100 total machines. I honestly have no idea exactly how many I have in the house at the moment. I like to joke that if my house burned down, the per capita computer ownership rate in the city of Portland would drop measurably.

Items marked with  are verified functional as of January 2010.

Apple II series:

  •  Apple //c - With original //c Monochrome display.
  •  Apple //c+ - Slightly broken, got damaged during shipping, the top-case is cracked (but nothing physically broken off) and the floppy drive was dead. I have the matching //c+-style color display. I replaced the floppy drive, and it works fine now.
  •  Apple //gs - ROM3, 2 MB RAM, matching Composite display, original //gs ADB keyboard (with "Ctrl" where it belongs next to 'A', and Caps Lock relegated to the lower-left corner.)

Compact Macs:

  •  Macintosh (The original, pre-"128K" branding. Serial number says 1983 manufacture!) - Upgraded to 512K (by Apple, via the motherboard that could be configured as either 128 or 512,) complete with original keyboard, keypad, mouse, and external floppy. Cables all have "knobby knobs"
  • Plus (two, one in unknown condition)
  •  SE - "SuperDrive" 2 MB RAM

68k PowerBooks:

  • Portable - Backlit (I know, not a PowerBook, but where else should I put it? Apparently dead :( )
  • PowerBook 100 - dead battery, screen has physical damage to about a 1/2" diameter area in the center, causing some individual pixels to permanently be dead purple.

PPC PowerBooks/iBooks:

  •  PowerBook 5300 - 8 MB RAM
  •  PowerBook 5300c - 32 MB RAM, screen with 'issues', odd pink 'flickery' tint overlay in 256 or Thousands of colors mode; but looks perfect in Black and White.
  •  PowerBook 5300c - 32 MB RAM, bad hinge, loose power connector.
  •  PowerBook 5300c - 24 MB RAM, perfect. The first Mac that was actually "mine", this technically belonged to my dad's work, but when they retired it, they gave it to him, and he gave it to me. It made a good replacement for the 386 I had been using in college.
  •  PowerBook 5300ce - broken screen. :-( Works perfectly on external screen.
  • PowerBook Duo 2300c - Complete with original packaging, Until I bought my 128K, I spent more on this than any other 'vintage' system, a whopping $100
  •  PowerBook 1400/133 - 183 MHz 603ev upgrade, 64 MB RAM, 1 GB hard drive. One floppy drive plus one CD-ROM drive with no bezel.
  •  PowerBook 1400/166 - 32 MB RAM, no hard drive; when used with the lid open, it seems to think you are constantly holding down the power button.
  •  PowerBook G3 - Lombard, two dead batteries.
  •  iBook G3 - the original, in Tangerine. Used to be my 5-year-old daughter's until the rabbit chewed the power cord.

Intel Macs:

  •  MacBook Pro - 15" Core Duo, ordered the day the Intel Macs launched; detailed at top of page.
  •  MacBook - 13" Core Duo, Black; a friend ordered it the day it launched, I bought it used from him in 2008.

Other vintage computers:

  • Nextstation Turbo - complete with external NeXT CD-ROM drive and matching laser printer.
  • SGI Indy
  • HP Apollo 9000/735 (HP PA-RISC chip based)
  • IBM "Personal Computer Power Series" - PowerPC-based "PC", not sold as an RS/6000 workstation, but as an honest-to-goodness "PC"; although it is heavily derived from their RS/6000 workstation line.
  • IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 - PowerPC-based ThinkPad, again, sold as a "PC", not as a member of the RS/6000 family, although later in life, the same model was re-branded as an RS/6000 laptop. 100 MHz 603e, 16 MB RAM. Presently running Windows NT 4.0.

Other non-vintage computers:

  • Intel Core i7 965 desktop - 6 GB RAM, dual Raptor hard drives in RAID-0, one 1 TB hard drive, ATI Radeon 4870X2, presently dual-booting Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Vista Ultimate; I had OS X hacked on this once, but couldn't get all the drivers happy.
  • Dual Intel Xeon W5580 server - 12 GB RAM, one 500 GB SATA and three 10k RPM 146 GB SAS hard drives, GeForce 9600GT, presently running OS X 10.6. OS X resides on the SATA drive, as even though OS X sees the SAS drives just fine, it apparently can't boot to my SAS controller. One SAS drive has Windows Server 2008 R2, a second holds all my Parallels virtual machines for use in OS X. The third SAS drive appears to be failing, so I'm not using it for anything right now.
  • Quad Intel Itanium 9150M server - 16 GB RAM, two 15k RPM SAS hard drives in RAID-1 for Windows, two 7200 RPM SAS drives in RAID-0 for Linux. The Windows side has Windows Server 2008 R2 trial, which is probably expired by now. The Linux side has Debian going. During the Summer, it stays off most of the time, but in the Winter it doubles as a good space heater for the basement.
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 slim desktop - 4 GB RAM, 1 TB hard drive, Radeon 4850 with HDMI out (and DisplayPort,) running Windows 7 Home Premium; this is my media center computer, connected via HDMI to my HDTV in the living room, it's the only computer in the house that's on 24/7. (The Itanium gets shut off for days/weeks at a time.) This is in a slim chassis that is the smallest volume full-ATX-compatible chassis I could find.
  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 desktop - 4 GB RAM, 750 GB hard drive, Intel GMA X3500 graphics (yay!); my son's computer, he doesn't do any gaming. If he changes his mind and wants to game, I have a GeForce 9600GT I can throw in it. This is connected to a "Graphite"/DVI Apple Studio Display.
