If we were all rich we would have multiple G5's with 30" Apple monitors. I too tend to be a collector and get really attached to my techno gear. My computers have very uninteresting names and only named because they are networked together. (However, I have been known to name my hard drives after my cats.) The only two I bought new were the PowerPC 7600 and the 17" PowerBook. Two others were from ebay (Sawtooth and G3 iBook), one was given to me (iMac Bondi) and one was 100 bucks from a friend (iMac Bondi). They all work great and have different uses.
