Probably the rarest I own is only because of the

VideoToaster 2000. I haven't found anybody else who has one with the
Newtek badge, but all the internals are pretty common boards.
I've seen one (at a local public access TV station), but I have to
agree that they aren't common.
The coolest computer I have, in terms of "Oh My
God I can't believe I
scored this!" is the 133MHz BeBox. Runs, came with a bunch of software,
and is cosmetically near perfect.
Nice score.
For my own collection, I'd say that I don't have stuff that's all that
rare... An Amiga 1000 w/Rejuvinator, a original rev C-64 s/n 2345, a
PDP-8/S, two Straight-8s (one of which appeared on the back of "CPU
Wars"), and an SBC-6120 with all the available accessories (FP-6120
and either a RAMdisk or IOB-6120) are about as rare as I get.
There's lots of people on this list with odder things than that.
