There's four amiga 2000s (one without the cover) and 3 500s.  On the top
shelf is an amiga 1000 under the monitor, but most importantly, attached to
the right side of the amiga 1000 is this:

It's an XT compatible sidecar upgrade for the 1000.  These are very rare.
(and I don't mean ebay-rare)  It lacks a hard drive, but iirc, there are
three 8-bit isa slots in there.  There's a guy on amiga.org who put a
hard-card and a separate video card in his.  The XT can act as a file server
for the 1000.

I'd love to have that setup (and a 1040st, next cube, 5160, 5170... ), but
alas, i'm too far away.
