Actually this is sort of an exciting time to be a collector. This is the
last decade that I suspect computers will "look" like computers, as
reductions in size and the push for lower costs force more and more
integration of functions, and the CRT slowly fades away to flat panel
technology. The last of a generation must have a few gems worth preserving.

Three possible items off the top of my head are:

Apple Cube

Tricked out lucite case lan party PC with all the lights and fans and leds.

A Generic tower systen, since that is what will be gone.
