    I currently own 4 computers:

    1. Dell XPS M1530 Laptop
    2. Acer Aspire One Netbook in white
    3. Custom Desktop with two monitors - Phenom II X4
    4. HP (old desktop running Pentium 4). I had this computer for a long time and my bf and I use it to play around with different operating systems.

    My dream computer is to one day own a Macbook Pro.

    1. 13" Mid 2009 Macbook Pro
    2. Mac Mini (connected to TV for playback of movies, ect).
    3. PC Tower, C2D 2.13
    4. PC Tower, Celeron 2.4, horrible machine
    5. Netbook, Acer Aspire One
    6. Powerbook G4 (file server and torrent machine with external 1.5TB external via FW 400)
    7. Power Mac G4, Digital Audio, doesn't get much use now, until recently it was my torrent machine


    Not in use, so I won't count it, but I have a P2 350 that still runs. If I plug it in right now its got a functional OS, so its ready to go, just no need for it.

    I have one computer. TB HDD's and VM's eliminate the need for more.

    I've got far too many, several servers, and enough components laying around to build quite a few more.That is before VM's as well, I've got plenty of them too.

    In fact space is such an issue these days my rarely used '09 24" iMac now lives in its box in the cupboard. :haha:

    I sooo need to get another server cabinet. :(
