If memory serves, the 20th anniversary Mac was more style than substance. It was relatively underpowered compared to the rest of the line, especially considering its premium price at the time.
But it did look very cool, the design has held up better than the original iMac.
My memory was correct, per Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentieth_Anniversary_Macintosh
Note that the introductory price was $7,499! They only made 12,000 units. By the time they dropped the product the price was down to a more reasonable $1,995.
I'll be most interested in the price it fetches now. (It can't run OSX, so it's not exactly usable anymore.)
