Another thread brought me back to this one.
I have a worthless collection of old computers: 286, 386, 486, Cyrix, Celeron, Pentium, PII, PIII, P4, Core II, AMD, etc. I have tried to get one significant model from each series. The 486 is my prize because it is an IBM and was really hard to find a good one in good shape (rocking windows 3.1.) They are really only worth scrap value now but in the day some of the machines were in the $3 to $5k range new.
Next up is to further my collection of old Apples with a G3 Cube...
