Weekend Open Forum: How many computers do you own?

[Guest]

I have:
- 1 x AMD K6-2 desktop
- 1 x AMD Athlon64 3000+ desktop
- 1 x AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 laptop
- 1 x Intel Core 2 Duo P7550 laptop
- 1 x Intel Core i7-2720 laptop

2 desktops - 1 purely for a media center and 2 laptops all in use and we still have to take turns sometimes. (4 games systems including old and new Xbox's in use too.)

I have a Core 2 Quad Q9450 I am debating on rebuilding. 2 months ago, my nice modular Antec 850 PS just blew out and took my motherboard ports and 3 hard drives and a DVD writer with it. Mysteriously my 8GB ddr2, CPU, Video card and SB Audigy card all survived. Can't seem to find a decent motherboard replacement for it with 4 ram slots. Don't know how much to invest in these older parts. Decisions, decisions.

Three, with one of those due for diassembly
Main: i7 950...Gigabyte X58-UD4P...3 x 2 Crucial RAM...2 x GTX 580...Corsair 800D...~1TB worth of HDD's...Swiftech Apogee GTZ/TFC X-Changer/D5/Bitspower water...Corsair 1kw

Secondary (to be parted out): Q9400...Gigabyte P45-UD4P...4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2...2 x HD 5850(going to X58 rig)...Tt Armor+....Sunbeamtech CCF...Corsair 750.

Building now (mainly because the parts were sitting around): 2600K...P8Z68-V Pro/G3...16GB Corsair DDR3...2 x GTX 580...XSPC RayStorm/D5T/Phobya G-Changer/Bitspower water. TBD: Chassis ( BitFenix Shinobi XL or NZXT Switch 810 likely), PSU (Antec HCP-1200 likely).

Also got a used and abused (but still kicking) Intel 865PE (with the mighty WinXP) as well- but that tends to be used for AGP graphics card problem troubleshooting.

I have 1 laptop, and 5 desktops altogether(1 gaming, 1 office, 1 graphics workstation, 2 HTPCs). I also have 1 old media file server that I store all my movies and music on.

One desktop (Q8400 based with 4GB RAM HD 5770, 500 WD/200GB Barracuda, DVDRW) + one notebook (DV6 6011 TX with 8GB of RAM, 6770M 1GB, SB QM2630 + 640GB + DVDRW).

I haven't updated my desktop in a while, because I am using notebook most of the time, so in the last couple of cycles I simply got myself a new notebook

 

[acerace]

I have 2 working desktops.

1st PC: Gaming and everyday use.
Intel Pentium E5700, 4GB DDR2 RAM, Radeon HD 4670 etc.
2nd PC: Everyday use only.
Intel Pentium E2180, 2GB DDR3 RAM, Intel G41 chipset graphic.

I own two computers: a desktop that I use for pretty much everything, and a laptop (ASUS Eee) that I use for university works and to carry around when needed (pretty much every day hehe).

However, at home I also have one desktop for my father and my brother's laptop (however, I don't own these two).

I have 5 working PC's. One laptop and 4 Desktops. One for the TV, one for general surfing, one for gaming and one for general data storage.

I use a sata dock in the gaming PC so I can switch between Win 7 and XP. And I switch between installs that just run single player games with the network disabled (with no AV or firewall) and installs for network games ie anything Steam or multiplayer. I also have one install for when I do online banking, buying off the net, etc.

 

[Talan]

I have about 10 now, more before but sold some, have one from 1998, a Pentium II, a never used Sony Viao that runs XP flawlessly with 333 MHz chip & 294 of ram, am thinking of Win 7 Starter on it...really belongs in a museum or a collectors collection

 

[Guest]

3rd ....: iMac 450Mhz, 8Mb ATI Rage 128 Video Card, 10 Gb HD, 64 Mb RAM
First computer I've ever disassembled, upgraded HD to 80 Gb and RAM to 192 Mb.

Countless custom builds over the years, currently have 2:

Soon as my financial situation gets a little better I plan on retiring the desktop to Media/Server duty and building myself a new one.

 

[Technochicken]

Currently I have three completely functional computers, all of which I use on a daily basis:
My windows desktop, a 2006 iMac, and an eeePC 904HA.

I also have four more computers in various states of disrepair but with working hardware - most of them just need a HDD and OS to be functional.
