Let’s see....
Quadra 605, beige G3, 3 Powerbook 140B, Powerbook 520C, 4 Powerbook 1400C (two in pieces), and one PowerBook G3 Wallstreet.  (I like powerbooks!)

At home: 2 - my first 512 KE, and an LC475; the first one still works (my son took the hard drive out of the other). The G3 All-in-One blew its video and got recylcled.

At work: Quadra 850 AV with Apple OneScanner. (I think that it is the last ‘040 machine in the building; my 8500 is upgraded to a G3.)

I have my Mac 8600 in the closet. I would love to be able to do something with it. Any suggestions?
I now have a powerbook besides a pc desktop and laptop. I am looking forward to getting a dual G5 along with a mac mini for my kids. My daughter bought a ibook last year, sort of pissed it got updated with some plus features but what are you going to do. She bought a mac mini a few months ago and now she cannot believe the nano.

Really short answer:
None, any computer that is not in use due to age or incompatibility, I have sold.

My beige G3 box that I update with a (now hold on to your seats) a G4 500 processor. WooHoo. FEEL THE POWER!!!! This thing has all the bells and whistles I could fit into it, Raedon extra video card, IDE controler, 2 extra harddrives, USB/Firewire card....

Now it just needs a dust ruffle

None. I always sell or give away. Don’t have enough storage room to keep any.

Well, today for the first time in years I can say that I don’t have any Macs in the closet.  I had a Duo 2300c and an iMac DV+ in there, but the Duo had a short in the power connector, so it made it into the trash—first computer I’ve EVER thrown out.  The iMac DV+ I gave to the cleaning lady, because her husband is taking a computer class and needs a computer on which to practice.  Hopefully, I’ll end up converting her whole family to Mac.

Well, finally got around to an inventory check in the basement (which is technically a HUGE closet):
Performa 6400/200
G3/233
G4/400 - still running w/o keyboard/mouse
Looks like I dumped my Performa 6215(?)CD along the way…

PM7500 and 2 Beige G3s.  My closet doubles as the office, so my current machines are there too.  I had to do house cleaning fairly recently, and got rid of a Quadra 650, PM7100, and 3 academic all-in-ones.

yeah it will be awhile though because i just gave away the cube like 2 months ago. and i had it when it first came out. i try to keep a steady flow of 2-3 computers at a time. maybe if i win this mini mac you can have some recycled parts from my powermac g4.
