Tanaquil's Hoard
My hoard is a bit ridiculous, so it will take a while to catalog it all, but here's a start: a shot of my current workshop, in a few different configurations.
My oldest mac (which I still have, not pictured) was a Classic from 1991. I also have the old family Apple IIe in the basement (working last I tested, but that was a lonnnng time ago). My current macs are a 2011 13" MacBook Pro (home) and 2013 21.5" iMac (work).
My project workshop is centered around a Mac Plus (used for testing older software), a IIsi for running System 6/7, and a couple of bridge macs running 9.2.2 (or early OSX if I need it, though I mostly can't stand the earliest versions of OSX and avoid them whenever possible). My modern MacBook Pro is my main internet machine; Classilla runs under 9.2.2 on my bridge machines, though it has a hard time interacting with many modern websites. I now have my MacBook Pro set up to be a FTP server for the bridge machines.
Album on flickr, if I did this right:

No pictures yet of the imac G3 hoard mentioned in another thread... that will have to wait for a later update.

Nice start.
Now that's what my basement looks like 
How do you guys do the thing where you list all your Macs at the bottom of the page? Is that part of "Signature"?

yes
Indeed a "good start"! 
+1 point for the cat 
It's not a hoard unless it can fall on you and crush you.
Nice cat btw.
Nice cat btw.
It's not a hoard unless you have feral cats living in it.
I have three, does that count?
(Only one is semi feral. Well, she waves her wild tail and walks by her wild lone. Once in a while, she consents to notice my presence.)
Cats are a bad thing sometimes... I was very "pleased" when I saw that one of my 4 cats chewed on some original vintage Apple cables...
One of my cats (still around) used to chew up the CAT5 Ethernet cables in my room under my desk (and a couple KVM cables as well). He got over it.
I like cats. Although if left unchecked, they have an unfortunate tendency to mark and/or scratch things, I've found. Particularly carpets and furniture.
We've gotten them catposts and scratchers MANY times, but after scratching at those awhile, they just kept going back to the furniture....
It's all part of the fun, though!
Until they decided to mark my iMac! (it ruined the CD-ROM drive TWICE back in '99 or so, but fortunately, the bulk of the machine never got harmed, and it survives to this day (albeit with a new CD drive)). Kinda my fault, though; I'd put it on the floor and use it there, inadvertently making it easy for them to... do things.

It takes some work, but cats are as trainable as dogs.
