The last, and my pick, is a original Macintosh II. It looks to be a model with a hard drive (I have never even SEEN a 5.25" HD), as it has a single floppy disk.

My MacII was upgraded (before I acquired it) with a IIx's motherboard. The harddrive was still a 3.5" one. The upgrade included a 1440kd floppy so now it's a dual floppy machine.

The downside of an original II is they need a PMMU before they can run A/UX or NetBSD etc.
