I never ever used a NuBus PowerMac.   The closest I ever came to using one was when someone gave me a bare 7100.   ie. no hard drive, no RAM, no ROM, and no video card or adapter for the oddball builtin video port.   I lost interest in the machine before I ever managed to acquire the odds and ends I would need to get it running.

If memory serves correct, I believe I was able to find everything but a means to get video from the machine.   Now that I have a NuBus video card, I sort of wish I still had it.   It's about the only old Mac I regret not keeping.

My Mac collection once included the following:

Macintosh SE/30
Macintosh Classic II
Macintosh Color Classic
Macintosh LC
Macintosh LC III
Macintosh LC 575
Macintosh Quadra 700
Macintosh Quadra 950
Macintosh Performa 5200
Power Macintosh 7200
Power Macintosh 7300
Power Macintosh 9500
Power Macintosh G3 (Beige)
iMac (Revision A Bondi)

My current Macintosh collection consists of:

Macintosh Quadra 700
Power Macintosh G3 (Beige)

Macs that I currently want include:

Macintosh Quadra 605
Macintosh Quadra 840AV
Power Macintosh G3 (Beige) x2 ie. I want two more beige G3 Macs.

The Quadra 605, 840AV, and 700 are the only 68k Macs that tickle my fancy.   The Beige G3 is the only pre-G4 Mac that really strikes a chord with me.
