For each $n$, the set of (isomorphism classes) of $C^*$-algebras of dimension $\leq n$ is finite (being the number of collections $\{(n_1,m_1),\ldots,(n_k,m_k)\}$ of pairs of natural numbers with the $m_j$ distinct such that $n_1\cdot m_1^2+\cdots+n_k\cdot m_k^2\leq n$), hence the collection of (isomorphism classes) of finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras is countable.
