ROM 3
8mb Sirius RAMcard
Rev D Ramfast with 1mb cache
Superdrive card with 2 original SuperDrives
2  5.25" drives
ZipGS 15mhz 64k
Second Sight card
ProGrappler with Epson Stylus Color 800 inkjet printer
AE Sonic Blaster
AE Conservor
4gb Seagate HD 7200rpm 
Toshiba 40x CD player
Infinity 128mb Magneto-Optical drive
200mb Syquest
Kensington 5.0 Turbo Mouse
USR 33k modem
Gravis Joystick
The SuperDrive card is in slot 4 but I also keep a 
couple of 800k drives attached to the disk port in 
case I run into something that won't work with the 
SuperDrive card. Of course I have to go into the 
control panel and restart to be able to use them

That's the currant configuration but I swap cards in and out freely and 
often have a second IIgs set up.
Parts I either swap in and out or use in a second or third IIgs, 
usually but not always a ROM 3. Off the top of my head

ZipGSs
TransWarpGS
PC Transporters
Hi-Speed SCSI cards
Apple Rev Cs
Ramfast Rev C & Ds
Sider HDs
Vulcan HD 
CFFA card
Video Overlay card
Fingerprint GSi cards 
Symtec Light pen
RamKeepers
EPROM burners
Phasor
SuperSonic Digitizer
AST Vision Plus
ThunderScan
GS RAM
GS RAM III
RamPak4GS
CVT RAM
RamFactors 
Apple Slinky cards
Graphics Tablet
SuperTalker
Gravis Mouse Stick

I'm sure I've missed a few things and of course there's a 
lot of stuff I never use in a IIgs, only in my IIe, II+, or II. 
I made a rough count of IIgses last year but I forget the count.
There's a stack in one corner that reaches the ceiling, some under 
the bed, in the closet and 4 in the original boxes in storage and 
maybe another dozen scattered about here and there.

There's also an owly woman hanging about that tries about once a 
week to talk me into clearing out some stuff. I tried to make here 
happy once by getting rid of a couple of really ugly IIes. Kept 
the keyboards, motherboards and power supplies of course. There's 
some people you can't please no matter how hard you try.
