Hey, fellow Portlander! I believe I have a IIx and one of the two IIvs sitting spare. I've almost cleared the basement storage area to where I can nearly get to them.
 
It's been a while, so lets see where i'm at now.... (Specs are listed where i can remember them)

Black MacBook (Mid 2007) 2.16Ghz Dual Core, 3Gb ram, 160Gb disk (I have wanted a black macbook of these since i first saw one in 2006, finally this January i had the money to buy one :) (and i could justify it, since it replaced my increasingly sick MBP as my college computer)
Apple Tv First gen (Running OS X Leopard)

PPC:
MDD G4, single 1.25Ghz
2001 Quicksilver G4, single 1.2Ghz (Sonnet Upgrade, was originally 733mhz)
Sawtooth G4 450mhz (mostly gutted, only CPU can logic board remain at the moment)
Rev A PowerMac G3 B/W, 500mhz G4 (Sonnet Upgrade, was originally a 350Mhz G3)

PowerMac G3 Desktop, 233Mhz
PowerMac 8500 (Case is destroyed, the PSU that came with it was dead and i can't get video from the board. But the board does chime and i like the case design... So i can't bring myself to chuck it)
iBook G3 Dual USB, 500mhz (x2)
PowerBook G4 12", 1.5Ghz
PowerBook G4 Titanium, 450mhz (Dead GPU, i might see if i can source a new chip and replace it)
PowerBook G3 Kanga
PowerBook 1400, 133mhz 603

68K:
IIx with prototype logicboard (marked "Seed1" and it has different component labellings (which i believe are closer to the II's than the IIx's, but i don't have a II to compare it to))
IIci
IIcx
IIsi
LC
LCII
LCIII
LC 475
Performa 450 (Aka re badged LCIII)
Performa 630

Prototype IIfx logic board. Has a different parts layout and coating from the production boards, and the ROM is a UV eraseable SIMM. Was working when removed from it's case around 2001.

Welcome! Nice collection - though I can't help noticing two PCs - the beige one with the two full height floppy drives and the black "portable" with the tilt-out screen. I used to service many of the latter - horrible things. The former is familiar but I can't place it's name.
 
hi tech68 - the only pc's are the small laptops and the ge fanuc , the black one - its an ibm p80 if I remember correctly. The beige one(if we are look at the same) is a power pc mac
 
ahh - that's her allright. Osborne-1.....worlds first 'luggable' computer. z80, 2 x 5.25' floppy drives. Theres 2 of them there but that one is the older. its got a serial of 7200 or something -5 ' screen.......love that machine. runs on cpm

Yup. Who would have thought that a sewing machine case style could house a luggable.

The only ones I worked on back then was the KaproII

Newton MessagePad 130
Mac OS Watch
mini iMac G3 alarm clock with target timer
