I'd have to go with the wood grain Atari 2600, I'm a sucker for 70's designed electronics.
Mega Drive 1 and 2, they both looked awesome

The headphone port on the Model 1 was so ahead of its time. Although I was stuck without an extension chord for my Koss Porta Pros (so couldn't actually use it), it was my first taste of relatively high quality sound.
One more vote with OP. That Atari is a nice looking machine.
I like the woodgrain look, but I don't think the Atari 2600 is a very good example of it. Lots of audio equipment from the time does it better. Especially when combined with brushed aluminum or stainless steel.
Purple GameCubes are retro now, so I'll go with that as my favorite.
Original sony playstation. I don't know why, i just love it
I think I preferred the design of the ps2, personally.
I love that one too
Damn, wood. Or wood-looking material at least.
