The icons are located in System -> Library -> CoreServices -> CoreTypes.bundle -> (Show Package Contents) Contents -> Resources
You will see a number of .icns for various Mac models. There is a generic com.apple.mac.icns that looks like an iMac but is actually a monitor, that one often gets substituted if a specific icon is not available. Also, for some reason, the iMac G4 15 is often substituted. Figure out which icon shows up in your sidebar and change its name to something else, or move it somewhere else. Then pick out one that looks most like your computer (for example, in place of a TiBook 800 you might pick the ibook g4 or the macbook pro icon). Change the name of that icon to the name of the one your system was using. Reboot and enjoy.
