I'd have to go with the wood grain Atari 2600, I'm a sucker for 70's designed electronics.
Hol'up.
Atari's only had 4, not 6, switches on them?

One more vote with OP. That Atari is a nice looking machine.
PlayStation is one of my favourites but it also comes down to that shade of grey being my absolute favourite shade of grey. And the OG pre-dualshock/analog potentially being my favourite shape of controller too. I have a modded Bluetooth one but sadly there's not too many modern games (outside of fighters) that don't need both the dpad and analog.
I also love the Gameboy color's shape. As an adult it's great for one handed gaming for rpgs.
Dreamcast and the first Playstation.
For pure old school retro it would be the old Compaq suitcase-sized laptop PC.

Damn, wood. Or wood-looking material at least.
The Atari Portfolio (the one John Connors uses in Terminator 2) or the ST Book.
