Faux-retro, or actual retro? I have a ~2002 iMac running OS X Tiger on my desk. :)

I got a clamshell iBook G3 running MacOS9 and 2 laptops running Windows 98, if they count.

I also have a CRT, as well as a record player and cassette deck, plugged into my daily driver.

I MIGHT be treading the line a little, but I have an Athlon 64 rig from 2005 I rescued from work! Right now, it's running 2000 and XP. I was able to upgrade it to have a Quadro from its time period and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2! Makes for a good general "retro stuff" rig.

Besides this, I have a Dell Dimension 4600 I want to make a Windows 98 rig out of. And recently, one of my co-workers found some old stuff I could play with! Most noteworthy is a Socket 7 rig that could make for a good "late DOS and Windows 95" rig...

I also have a Sun Ultra 10 in my collection. I still need a keyboard and mouse for it, though...
