Seems like I could do with a ZX80 too...
And a Z88 as well...
Can you fit a C5 in your living room? ;-)
I could fit the C5 in my living room, but I'm absolutely not going to do that!!!
I suppose as well as a Z88 I could hunt down a PC200...
Except prices are really expensive right now.
Collector of many retro things!
800XL and 65XE both with Ultimate1MB,VBXL/XE & PokeyMax, SIDE3, SDrive Max, 2x 1010 cassette, 2x 1050 one with Happy mod, 3x 2600 Jr, 7800 and Lynx II
Approx 20 STs, including a 520 STM, 520 STFMs, 3x Mega ST, MSTE & 2x 32 Mhz boosted STEs
Plus the rest, totalling around 50 machines including a QL, 3x BBC Model B, Electron, Spectrums, ZX81 etc...
The PC200 is an Amstrad PC, not really a Sinclair related machine other than the badge.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

It is, but I'd still go for one :)
I almost added the CPC464 to the photo for giggles :)

What are the 3 nearest the sewing machine with the Atari symbol?
Only the middle red one by the sewing machine has an Atari symbol, and it's because it's one of these: Atari Edition
The green one is a Taito edition and the blue/yellow version is the Capcom edition. The edition determines the pre-installed games.
They did actually make a special edition Atari one with woodgrain, but they were limited numbers and I couldn't get hold of one.
