Anyone have 2 full computer setups in your room/house

[TallBill]

what do you use 2 systems for? just curious.. other then for distributed computing... and im talkin like.. your 2nd computer is almost as good as the main one

 

[SirWoj]

I have 4 computers in the house. One is my school pc, home for the summer. I just built my younger brother a new college pc, which he uses to type papers and play games. My parents have a computer to themselves, once my brother and I go back to school. Last I built a home entertainment pc, which I use to watch dvds and listen to mp3s in my room. The more pcs, the better.

For testing stuff I can't put into a work production environment

 

[Cougar]

Yep, I have 2 full blown computers. One in the guest room and one right next to my bed. The one next to my bed is used for surfing and playing music, but the other one is for playing games as well as working, surfing and playing music. For now the machines are pretty equal, but once I upgrade my main machine in the guest room then the other one will be serisouly underpowered compared to it.

Also, if I ever find a job, I've been tinkering with the idea of setting up a 3rd little computer to use as a backup and maybe set up an ftp server.

 

[Lucky]

yep. 3 in fact.

What a terrible son you are! Why don't you canabilize the old ones if needed to see if you can get her the PII 300 working?

I've only got one system active 24/7, it's in my sig. My other system is sitting in my closet, without memory. Other than that it's complete. In case anyone is wondering, it's an iPaq desktop system. Nice and small.
