Dragon 32 - OK not a real computer (neuuh), but the earliest example of overclocking I saw, you could POKE a number into a memory location to speed the processor up a bit.

First REAL computer (pffft!), 286/16 with 1Mb of RAM and hercules monochrome graphics, not exactly a games machine.

Amiga 500 was a great computer.
No HD though.

But such a phenomenal demo scene and hardcore fans.
