My uncle is a collector of macs and related stuff. And he gets all of my old stuff too. And I'll try to remember what he has:

Apple 128K (later upgraded to a 512K) (My first computer. I remember not having a hard drive, just an internal and external floppy drive and one was the system disk. Haha. I was like 5 or 6 at the time. And it was pretty old then too.
Mac Plus
Mac SE (my second computer)
The classic
The colour classic
Power Mac 7500 (Also was mine)
Mac powerbook (a few of these early ones I think.)
Power Mac 8600
A few if the coloured imacs. The Huge CRT ones. (one of these was mine too)
A clamshell ibook
Imac G4 (The one with the round base and the screen attached by a movable pole)
G5 Powermac

Stylewriter
Stylewriter 1500
Stylewriter 2500
A heap of mouses
And an apple camera. I didn't even know apple made cameras till he told me.

If I remember anymore, I'll just update this post.

Ahhh yes, the QuickTake, one of the first consumer digital cameras. Expensive little buggers. I'm sure you can dig up loads more info on wikipedia if you've got the interest...

Myself, I've got...

IIci (working, but packed away)
PowerMac 7600/120 (working, but just being used as a monitor stand)
G4 1.42ghz Mini (my primary work machine; I had to buy it myself tho')
1.83ghz CD MBP

...and hopefully a C2D 20" iMac in the not too distant future.

I still have mine and it still works. I have to boot the classic or my old Performa to get pictures off of it but it's a nice bit of nostalgia, especially when compared with my D50.

Will that one system be a Mac or PC?

Reason I ask is I know you are a gamer.
