How many PC's do you have?

I have one notebook only.
But my family have totally 4 computers:
- 1 notebook (P-M 1.73GHz)
- 3 desktop
~ AMD Sempron 3000+ (Socket AM2)
~ AMD Sempron 2500+ (Socket 754)
~ AMD Sempron 2200+ (Socket A) - server

I have the pc in my sig, a macbook, an emac, a G3 powerbook, and a sawtooth G4. The G4 doesnt have a processor or hdd ATM, but will in a month or two, then it will be a fully funtioning, integral part of my computer collection.

1. My rig, custom built gaming machines (see sig)
2. My wife's office - Dell Dimension, 768 mb RAM, IGP
3. Wife's laptop (owned by her work), dell latitude, really nice machine

3 Servers
4 Workstations

Actually, I came to the conclusion that having that many PC's is actually my fault.

I simply cannot sell my old hardware. There have been very few times in my life I disposed of old hardware.

The 5 listed are working, but I still have a plethora of components that could be built into fully working machines (mobo, CPU, ram, HD, case, psu, etc, etc, etc). Most of them are P2, K6-2 and previous generations.

Working PCs:

Main computer
- MacBook Pro
Second laptop for use as a video source when VJing
- G3 iBook
SFF PC for use as VJing video source (DOS or Linux progs)
- Compaq EN SFF PII350
File server
- G4 Powermac with a Highpoint 2220, 8x320GB, 2x300GB and 2x120GB drives.
Main Windows/Gaming PC
- Barton XP3200+ and a Radeon 9700pro
Web server
- Sempron 2400 in a shuttle SN45G
Firewall
- P120 at 90 with 3 NICs
2x HTPCs
- chipped XBOXs with XBMC
Family's computer
- G4 Powermac


Stuff I'm working on:

Netboot/Web server/firewall/gateway for internet cafe
- dual PIII 1Ghz with 6x 9GB U160 SCSI drives.
9 Diskless terminals
- Compaq Deskpro EP/EN PII300 - PIII450.
Netboot POVRAY rendering server for a beowulf type cluster
- Sun Enterprise 450, dual SparcII 300s and 10x9GB + 2X18GB drives.
Time lapse photography/motion triggered video recording system
- VIA Epia ME6000.
Wardriving/walking system
- HP Jornada 720 running NetBSD, with a Lucent card and GPS.

Whenever I get a new computer my sister or parents get an upgrade(my old computer). So I always have one computer... well for a few weeks I had 2, but then gave my old one to my sis...

I have 11, all built out by me:

1 - Desktop (linux desktop) C2D E6400, 1GB

1 - Media center PC A64 3000+, 1GB

1 - DOS P133, 64MB (Used for playing old school games like Ultima 1-VII, Dark Forces, etc. My kids love these old games for some reason)

Modern Pcs? (ie those that've been built in the last 5 years) 3 - a two week old e6600 rig, a four year old xp2700 (both custom builds) and a clawhammer Athlon 3000 (1MB lvl2 cache number) laptop while my parents have a Sempron based Acer unit.

The other units consist of one seventeen year old Amiga 500 (slightly yellow but still working), two Amiga 1200's (one with a 240MHz PPC accellerator, 8Mb graphics card and a 4.5GB hard drive) an Amiga CD32 (with SX1 expansion unit) and a twenty three year old Acorn Electron (still working and my first computer ).

1. Sig PC
2. Macbook 13.3inch 2.00core duo. 2 gigs RAM(selling)
3. Dell D800 pentium M 1.73 2 gigs
4. Pentium D 940 @ 4.2 1.5 TB HD space(my "server" )
5....maybe 6. could prob assemble anther PC or 2 with all the parts lying around my APT........

Impressive, sir.

I have:
-opty 170 rig
-2 x C2D 1.83 GHz Laptops
-P4 3.0 GHz Prescott
-P4 3.2 GHz Northwood
-P3 1.0 Ghz
-and a P1

so that would put me at 7 PCs.

Just one PC - Opteron 165 @ 2.75GHz, 74Gb Raptor, 1GB RAM, X1800XT.

I just buy bits at a time and add them to it, and sell the old bits as I upgrade. Makes it cheap

Some parts are extremely old though, like my ancient generic beige ATX case which harks back from when ATX came out (PII I think?).

Got a work laptop, but that ain't mine and it's a snail-pace Pentium M 1.3GHz. Yuk!

Hmm good question.

Pentium (1) 133mhz sittin on work bench with Windows 98 w/DOS
2x HP UNIX B2000 boxes
P-III with Windows 98SE
4x P-4 with XP Pro

Notebook from HP that Im not sure of the processor for the wife running XP

and an Alienware 7700 Notebook as a desktop replacement.

So 10 in all not counting the Ipaq's
only the laptops and the 4 P4's actually get a LOT of use
the UNIX boxes I use for work related things.

We have enough spare parts to build one or two more if we were so inclined. Our plan is scrapping a lot of the old hardware and machines in October and just ordering custom Falcon Mach V's for each of us.

Ajfink sounds like us

Haha...elegant way to phrase it.

Rich parents.

See the signature block.

Also a P233MMX running at 300 Mhz - mostly for old games.
2.6 Ghz P4 system, home in Texas
HP notebook.
A slide rule in a glass covered, wooden shadow box on the wall with a sign:
"In case of power failure, break glass."

Three I don't use - 850 and 950 Mhz AMD Durons and an Intel 500 Mhz PIII. These have been built for giveaways. Over here, you CAN give away PIII grade systems.

Two questions from J. S. Casteel's Geek Test (with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy):

1. If you have more computers in the house than people, you might be a geek.
2. If you have a home network and you live alone, you might be a geek.

Depends on how you count? Do they have to be in cases? Do they have to work? Does my wife's machine's count?

In any case, here is current working set:
