The Apple Collection: A Partial Glimpse

This is but a small portion of my ever-growing Apple collection (you can see how much it's grown since last March). There's about this much more sitting in my office at work as well as a good chunk in my parents' basement just waiting for me to get a house so I can properly start setting up the show pieces.

Not looking forward to moving all these when the time comes!

There are a bunch of pieces of equipment that I didn't add notes for because you just can't see them (there's laptops and a few printers underneath the two iMacs in the middle, for example).

The eventual goal for the collection is to have one of every major product that Apple has ever released. For example, I wouldn't necessarily want a PowerMac 6400 and a 6500 (which currently resides in my parents' basement) because they're essentially the same case/computer (not that I'd refuse a 6400 if offered). The iMacs are a special case where I want to have one of each colour within each model (iMac DV, iMac SE, etc.).

Additionally, it's not just hardware. I have original manuals, software disks/CDs/DVDs, and much more.

The four toughest pieces I foresee obtaining are: a Lisa, a Pippin, a 20th Anniversary Mac, and a Mac TV. And then there's all the little rare items like the PowerCD.

And finally, for those that think of it, I know of soyburger's collection. His will give you a rough idea of what I'd like to set up (though mine will be a bit less spread out!), but things like the bar of Mac Classics I won't be doing for the reasons stated above.

Yes, I would rather use the space for something else. Anybody have some stuff they want to donate? :)
