I have a few machines that I'll occasionally just
sit and
admire, mainly the NeXT and the SOL-20 but on an asthetic level I
tend to find specific boards just as pleasing to look at as various
machines. There's just something about a well planned, well layed
out design, such as the mainboard of the Apple II or II+ or the
minimalist approach taken by the ZX-81. Amiga Zorro II/III boards
tend to be well layed out as well due to thier size.
George Morrow's board designs always did this for me; I have an
EconoRAM III 16K dynamic board and an early WunderBUSS in an
Objective Design extruded aluminum frame.
Which reminds me: has anyone written up the electrolytic capacitor
reconditioning instruction into a FAQ?

Is the EconoRam a George Morrow design? I have four EconoRams that are Bill
Godbout/CompuPro products. Mine are 16K SRAMs, in this case, loaded with
2147's.
I also have a completely new/unused (not in the box, but never used) WunderBuss
somewhere. I'm not even certain it was ever assembled.
