It’s got to be the original Macintosh II, the first color Macintosh.
Still have this bad boy—a screaming 16 Mhz 68020 with a 40MB hard drive and 5MB of RAM. Whoo hoo! Talk about speed! Bought it in 1988 for a cool $5000 including 13” Apple Trinitron monitor (which actually still looks pretty damn good for a 17 year old monitor - still sharp with vibrant color). The Mac II hasn’t booted recently, but I think it’s a drive failure. I haven’t bothered trying to find a low-capacity 25-pin SCSI disk for it… seems a little silly at this point and I still have a Mac LC III that boots which currently uses the 13” monitor. You’d be surprised how fast 7.5.3 boots on the old LC III.
My most tricked out box was a Powerbase 180 with a G3 and lots of other upgrades (drives/video/audio). I haven’t done much in the way of upgrades for my newer machines.
My Mac museum includes the Mac II, LC III, 7100/66, 7200/120, Powerbase and Beige G3. I also have a working Apple //c. My current home Mac is a MDD Dual G4 and 15” Powerbook at work.
20+ years of Apple history in my spare room. It boggles even my mind at times.
