This is actually three seperate conquests, in a way. One was entirely accidental. Seems these classic Macs just fall onto my head now I'm not looking 
First: 14 keyboards (no photos yet), among them a boxed Apple Standard Keyboard, an AppleDesign keyboard (I love the adjusting mechanism, but it's stiff and the entire keyboard is a little large), some Apple Extended Keyboard IIs, and some Apple Keyboard IIs. Also, several mouse, split between Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II and Apple Desktop Bus Mouse. And a Macally ADB mouse for good measure.
Cost: $5 on eBay. Plus the difficulty of using only Public Transport to get them home. ;-)
Second: One fully functioning Colour Classic, virgin. Didn't have a keyboard and mouse with it, but thanks to the aforementioned haul, I was able to remedy that. ;-) CRT was a little out of whack so I aligned it.
Cost : Free, given to me by the guy who sold me the ADB gear. (Thanks, Lt. Bunsen for that tip!)
This is the Colour Classic after I changed the harddrive from a 40MB to 160MB, put in two 2MB SIMMs to up the RAM to 8MB, and while I was adjusting the picture:
Third: One LaserWriter Select 360, complete with cables, disks, and spare toner cartridge.
Opened it to up the RAM from 8MB to 16MB, and my my how gorgeous it is
Cost: $30 on eBay.
Boxed:
Unboxed:
Plans are to set up the Colour Classic with System 7.1.1 :cc: and use the LaserWriter to do occasional DTP, and to have a nice little computer in my room for if I'm bored and don't want to make too much noise.
I also have a Daynaport E/LC on the way (revision unknown, i only handled it briefly) which I intend to go straight into the Colour Classic - my IIvx has a NuBus Ethernet card in it, so perhaps when I get the IIvx running I can do something AppleTalk-ish.
Pics will come when I get its habitat in order too
