    The most collectible antique PCs

    Is that computer in your attic a treasure...or trash? Here's the scoop on 19 historic digital antiques, worth from $10 to $10,000 and beyond. From PC World.

    The Most Collectible PCs of All Time - PC World

    I have a old green screen IBM Tape drive green screen Desktop in the attic of my shop at the ranch bagged and covered in dust. Looks like item #8. Belongs to my wife before I met her. I might break it out and see what I can see. Has the printer/fax machine with it.

    I used to have one of the old IBM 8086 machines, but I gave it away a few years back. Now, I only have a collection of the old IBM Model M keyboards that are quite large, heavy, clicky, and loud, but still very usable. I'll probably be hanging on to them for a while.

    My daughter still has a C64 we gave her for Christmas one year. It still works, so maybe the grandchildren will end up using it in another couple of years.
