I have one of those - I have to agree, it's fabulous. I wish I could get a new one with updated guts - maybe that's a potential mod project.

Do you want my 17" 2.33? haha j/k...or am I? I want the 17" UMBP so bad. Esp the higher res. screen.

Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh: just want to see one in the flesh.

700mhz snow G3 iMac

G4 iMac, like many people by the sounds of it, they look very nice!

G4 iMac

Gonna have to go with the 20" iMac G4. It would also be pretty cool to have a 12" PowerBook G4. As for current Macs, I want a 15" Unibody MBP.

And a PowerBook G5.

Always wanted a iBook G3, the classic ones that look like the old iMac. Has to be one of the most class machines i have ever seen.

For me there is a long list... anyway, here goes:

20" iMac G4 - Coolest. Computer. Ever.
24" White Intel iMac - Complements my MacBook and I prefer White
PowerMac G5 - first mac I really wanted..
iBook G3 - First Mac was one of these, need one back
128K - The one that started it all!
17" and 12" PowerBook G4s (Launch Versions)
QuickSilver G4
iMac G3 Bondi
iMac G3 Graphite
Quadra 610
PowerMac 9600
PowerMac G3
*EDIT - Forgot - G4 Cube 500)

SE/30
Apple IIgs (not technically a Mac, but damned cool)
LC 630
Quadra 840av
Twentieth Anniversary Mac
Powerbook Duo 2300c
B&W G3 tower
PowerMac G4 Cube
12" 1.33Ghz G4 iBook (I want to make it a "netbook" )

I'm amazed at the number of people who want Quad G5s. I wanted one myself until I had to service them. Never seen so many hardware failures on one model before. It's a shame, too, because those things are still pretty bitchin' machines beyond the whole reliability thing.

As of today...

Apple II+

Cube
iMac G4 Flat Panel

(lots more, but the list would be too long)

The successor to the current one.

Mac Pro with:
Two 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
At least 8gb of RAM but I'd prefer 32gb
Mac Pro RAID Card
4 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
4x NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB
2 18x SuperDrives
2 Apple Cinema HD Display (30" flat panel)
Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse
Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) and User's Guide
AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card with 802.11n
Mac OS X server


Quad-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express card (I might decide to run my own server)


I'm accepting donations LOL Just Kidding


I want one but my wife would kill me..... Last year before I was a MAC guy I built a crazy PC that is very similar in specs but I wish I never would have because I would have got this computer. I still to this day am kicking myself in the a$$ for not buying a Mac Pro instead. Oh well we live and we learn but mark my words I will get one someday.

Macs destroy PCs in my book. I wish someone would have said something to me a long time ago to check out Macs.


I almost bought my Macbook Pro with the 2.93 processor but it was the first Mac I've ever owned. Now I kinda regret it. I had a really old Apple desktop my brother gave me in 94 but it was REALLY old. Other than that I've never touched a Apple/Mac until 6-8 months ago and I'm so glad I did.

For older hardware....

• 15" Ti Powerbook
• Powerbook Duo 270c
• 12" Powerbook G4 (was my favorite for a while)
• 20" iMac G4 (last gen...beautiful hardware)
• iBook G3 (Special Ed. Graphite)

I just got my uMBP so I'm pretty content w/ what I've got.

Always wanted..

Mac Plus
Mac LC II
Power Macintosh 5500
PowerBook 1400c
Power Mac G3 Blue & White
12" PowerBook G4


I would be very content if I had those machines.

Imac G4, probably the 17" version. They looked the most 'balanced'

Macs I liked the most:
* Powerbook 190c - great system (some might disagree), Fantastic screen, PCMCIA, clickable trackpad. The case fell apart though, so it had to go.
* Pismo 500 Mhz (have a 400 with a 500 chip at the moment. Great system)
* AlBook 12" - fantastically portable system for the time. (Had two, my 867 got stolen, got a 1.5 Ghz as a replacement from insurance, but I had already bought a 17" 1.5 Ghz very cheaply instead and stuck with that)
* Unibody MacBook - looks great and works nicely (current main system)
* C2D 2.33 Ghz 15" MacBook Pro (just sold a 2.16, but I always wanted the 2.33 for the extra VRAM).

Macs I want the most:
* TAM of course!

Macs I was disappointed with that I have owned that people might be envious of. Really, don't be!:
* Powerbook Duo 2300 prototype (Sooo slow, even compared to a 1400)
* Powerbook 1400 (Didn't seem too reliable, had the 133,166 and a 117 prototype at one point, the 166 was good, but they all died apart from the 117)
* Pippin (useless - couldn't get any games for it)
