Lets see... In cronological order it would be something like this...

800MHz G3 iBook - Was stolen Christmas day 2005
350MHz B&W PowerMac - Got this because my iBook was forever in the shop with faulty Logic Boards so I got this as a stop gap measure. It was a POS though, almost as bad as my iBook was.
400MHz Yikes! PowerMac - Got this to replace my iBook. Died two weeks after I got it.
400MHz B&W PowerMac - Got this machine to replace my dead Yikes! That i got to replace my stolen iBook. I put the G4 from the Yikes! in it. It is the only Mac ive owned that has not let me down. And even then, I get the odd panic out of it.

My newest machine is not a Mac, because frankly I think Apple hardware is substandard crap. My Hackintosh runs MacOS better than any of the Apple machines Ive played with lately. Specs are in my sig.
 
I am pretty late to this topic but what the heck..

iMac G3 DV 500mhz (Snow colored)
iMac G4 Lamp
iBook 900mhz G3
iMac G5 (Flat)
Intel iMac (Flat)
Intel Mac Mini
Soon to get a new iMac (When it comes out)

iPod Original (Mac only one)
3 iPod mini's (2 of the same models 1 different one)
2 iPod nanos (both models)


It is actually scary looking at this list. But it is good to know that I have always sold my computer before upgrading to a new one, and have made a big chunk of money back.
