The G4 iMac was a lovely device, but from an engineering POV, I'd have to go with either a G4 tower or a G4 cube. My X had a cube and it was stunning - something you could leave on 24/7 in your bedroom and not hear it. Also a tonne of interesting engineering went into it. The G4 tower was (in my mind) the last of the machines that was actually a pleasure to work on the hardware. The motherboard being on the hinged door meant it opened out giving you access to install cards or upgrade the CPU. It's actually a pleasure to pop the side just for the sake of having a look. I've got an old G3 tower here that I can't bring myself to throw away. Very cute, rounded, colourful outsides but serious engineering on the inside. Everything since seems to have gone out of its way to make it difficult, unpleasant and in cases down right impossible to get into, upgrade or repair.
