Macintosh SE/30
Recently voted the 'best ever Macintosh' by a Macworld panel, the Macintosh SE/30, which cost $4,900 at launch in 1989, had a 16MHz Motorola 68030 processor, 1MB of RAM (expandable for the first time beyond 4MB), a hard drive (40MB or 80MB), a high-capacity (1.4MB) floppy drive and an expansion slot (PDS). It retained the original Mac's 9in. 512-by-342-pixel black-and-white screen.

The SE/30 is bound to become more sought-after following its Macworld award. We found one on eBay for $193. On a personal note, this model's SE predecessor was the first Mac I used — to do DTP using PageMaker.
