I have:

Cybertron computer (it says this on a sticker on the case, although on the computer it says FOXCONN) with Vista
An unknown model with Windows 98 (I can't find a sticker on it, only one saying it has Intel processor)
and a Commodore VIC-20

My mom has an HP computer with Windows XP on it.
 
My computer is a rental. I don't technically have one.
 
Oh you want the colors? Mine's black. Matte black. On the front, its got 3 round sets of blue lights from the fans -- bright little suckers. Nice big bump on the top for the top fan. Its pretty heavy too. Best part though, its got this clear window on the side. You can see tons of little colorful light coming through it. There's also wires of every color of the rainbow inside too! I wouldnt stare right at them though, they're bright. And the fan on the side blows out really hot air.
Laptops got this awesome wavy pattern on it, really trippy if you stare for too long. its got some shiny stickers too -- who doesnt like shiny stickers.
 
I have a microwave which automatically detects when popcorn is ready.

Whoah, thats a cool microwave. Although you can say mine detects when popcorn's done too. It just goes on to burn it.
 
I have a computer which says "Sony" on it.

It's black, and about two inches high, and about ten wide.

It's got this nice slot, about the size of a video cassette in it, and some buttons, two with triangles, one with a square, and one with a circle.
There is a screen, with numbers on that get gradually bigger.
I haven't figured out how to get tetris on it.

My favourte game on it is this cool WWII game called Schindler's List, but the Jews always lose :(
 
My computer takes up an entire room, and the only input/output is punch cards. It can be quite tedious interacting with the modern Internet, it can get very hot and is prone to failure; but it can play a mean game of Tic Tack Toe. Also, it has Tetris, if by Tetris you mean knocking over a box of punch cards, and they fall onto your head. I always lose.

Fun fact: The guy I bought it from said it was built in Germany in the Forties. I wonder what they used it for.
 
I have a HP PC.

I also have an XBox (broken) XBox360 (broken), and an N64 (still works), Gamecube (still works) and Wii (still works).
 
HP something or other that runs 64-bit Vista (I know, I know, my parents' decision, not mine!);
Wii.

YOu should get one of these for it.
 
I have a computer, though I keep having to reload black tape into it and it is only powerful enough to do word processing.
 
My computer can also take punch-cards. The punch cards direct mechanical looms based on the Jacquard loom. The computer has a printer, a curve plotter and a bell for output. The computer is able to punch numbers onto cards to be read in later. It employs ordinary base-10 fixed-point arithmetic.

There is a store capable of holding 1,000 numbers of 50 decimal digits each. An arithmetical unit (the "mill") is able to perform all four arithmetic operations, plus comparisons and optionally square roots. Initially the mill replies upon its own internal procedures, to be stored in the form of pegs inserted into rotating drums called "barrels," in order to carry out some of the more complex instructions that my program might specify.
