I'd second Zane's vote for a PDP-10, and an
S/360 / S/370 might be nice,
but I think a 7094 would be a bit cooler.. er... more fun. Hmm, those
are both 36-bit machines.
Since you mention the 36-bit aspect, I'd almost suggested the
Honeywell DPS-8, but decided against it do to the lack available
software (there is a HUGE difference between the software *existing*
and being available). Though the thought of actually being able to
boot GCOS-8 at home is a bit frightening :^)
