Macintosh IIfx
In 1990, when the traditional-looking Macintosh IIfx was introduced (at the startling price of $9,900), a 40MHz (Motorola 68030) CPU and 4MB of RAM qualified as 'wicked fast' (the description used by the product manager responsible for the IIfx). Whereas the original Mac design was a closed box, the IIfx was very much open, featuring six NuBus slots.

We couldn't find any IIfx Macs on eBay while this article was in preparation, but did come across an interesting tale about a buyer who ended up with the late, great Douglas Adams' old IIfx.
