In your opinion, what is the Greateat Mac of All Time?

Mid-2010 iMac 27".

$1900 for a refurb.

Over the years, I had to replace the hard drive [SSD, baby], and the power supply, but despite an occasionally dodgy video card, paltry RAM, and being obsoleted to Sierra, it still does everything I need it to do

That's the model I just picked up, but I don't know it had a dodgy video card history. What are the symptoms?

Also, just loaded High Sierra, hopefully it wasn't too ambitious.

I should have said 'failing' rather than 'dodgy. Video cards can fail after a time. The symptom, in my case, is multi-colored pixelation flashing on the screen. Minor occurrences can be dismissed, but more severe ones can cause the computer to lock-up, or crash, and restart itself. So, I save my work more frequently—not a bad practice in any event.

I can live with it for now, but I'm looking into replacing the video card.

In every era there is a greatest Mac...
2012 MacBook Pros (pre-retina, with 2.5" drive bay and USB3)
PowerMac G4 MDD (except for the damn wind tunnel sound!)
Wallstreet!
Starmax 6000 (How I dreamed of those, and an alternate reality where Motorola bought out Apple and went head-to-head against Intel/Microsoft in PCs instead of eventually divesting andfading away to nothing...)
PowerMac 7500 (the most affordable of the CPU-upgradeable PCI PowerMacs)
SE/30

Definitely the worst Mac was not the 7200... Although that was not a good Mac. It was the 62xx and 63xx performas that had the 16-bit bus to save money but which starved the 603 for data causing many wasted cycles.
