Anyone have 2 full computer setups in your room/house

[Flashram]

3 Computers:

-Main system I use
-Computer for 2 yr old (yes, my 2 yr old)
-3rd system no idea why I have it

 

[FoBoT]

i like two on my desk so that i can keep email/web sites up on one if i play a game on the other

i don't like to share, so in addition to two on my desk, my wife and two daughters (age 9 and 3) have their own PC's

then there are the 3 servers in the back

and there is usually 1 in some stage of build/test/wait to sell

 

[y2kc]

1. p4 1.6 @ 2.2GHZ: Win XP. main box/lightweight gaming (I administer most of the rest through this guy).
2. dual P3 650: 2K Advanced Server (domain controller)
3. dual 350: Mandrake 8.2 (trying to learn linux....again)
4. P3 450: Astaro Security Linux box (replacement for my cisco 1605 as soon as I get VPN to work)
5. Compaq 133: ping box
6. P3 550: (for the wife and kiddies)
7. Pentium 100: ping box

 

[aphex]

1. AMD Athlon 1.2ghz - XP
2. PIII 1ghz Laptop (Dell 8100) - XP
3. PIII 500mhz - 2k
4. AMD K6-2 300mhz - XP

I think that I come closer to the situation you describe in your original question than most. I have three computers that exceed 1GHz in the CPU and have at least 40GB of hard drive. All are Athlon's: 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4.

The wife has the 1.2, and the kids have the 1.1. I seriously upgraded their computers last Christmas because we wanted to do some LAN gaming. It's a good excuse to build computers. Frankly, all three of the systems need a video card upgrade, and obviously could stand a CPU upgrade, but I can't afford it right now.

2,

1.2 GHz TBird, WinXP, W2K.
1.0 GHz Duron, W2K for parents

 

[RossMAN]

We have 8 computer systems in the house I think.

Mine with 19" FD Trinitron and Brother HL-1240 laser printer
Wife's with 17" Samsung 753DF monitor with HP v40 printer
Roommate's with 19" SUN (FD Trinitron) with HP laser
Sun Sparc 5 or something like that
2 iMac's
Mac Performa 630D
Mac Plus

Needless to say all the Macs are offline and gathering dust in the closet

 

[yakko]

I have 3 set up. Main computer, XP test machine and Linux test machine.

 

[Harvey]

I only have one monitor and one keyboard, but other than that, I have three complete machines. My main machine is a 1.33 GHz T-Bird. My second machine is a 650 MHz original Athlon that is almost fully up to date, except for current files and a some current updates on the OS. I keep it because it's a great backup if my main machine fails, and I still occasionally need to test one of my GFD's.

Then, there's my little putt-putt 486 DX6/100. It runs DOS 6.22 and Win 3.11 very well. It's great for setting up DOS based industrial control programs, including some that crash on faster machines, and, in a real pinch, it will also run my DOS based schematic and printed circuit layout program, as well as Office 95 for Win 3.x. It isn't worth enough money to sell, it's too slow to give away, even to newbie kids, and it doesn't take up that much space, so there's no point in trashing it.

 

[slikmunks]

hahaha, don't know if you count this, but right now i have 2 in my dorm (me and myroomie), next year will have 4 in my apartment.... hehehe

 

[Paulson]

I have 3 in my house. 2 regular use (main computer is mine, old old computer is for my parents) and finally my server... (I count it as one )

 

[GermyBoy]

My neighbor at school has 14 full computer setups that are almost as good as his main one. Over 4TB of space distributed amoung them all (never has to worry about backing up).

Anyways, it's because he's rich. Invited me over for a LAN party, and I said, bring or don't bring my computer, jokingly. He said, "Oh yeah, you haven't been over before." I was shocked! 14 computers, 14-21" monitors. I wish my dad was a defence lawyer!!!!!

Peace,
GermyBoy

 

[BCYL]

I have 5 PCs in my house...

My mom, Dad, sister and I all have our own PCs... My sister also has another laptop which she uses for work...

I am thinking about getting a laptop myself... so it may be 6 PCs shortly...

 

[Viper GTS]

I personally only have my main system, but I've been really tempted lately to build a Pentium IV system to go with it.

Don't get me wrong, I love my dualie system but it's not a very good gaming system.



Viper GTS

 

[her209]

See my sig for what you seek.

 

[Platypus]

Yes, my workstation running Linux for everyday use and my server running FreeBSD side by side.

 

[Adul]

like top add a laptop to the mix

 

[SWScorch]

I have 3 comps in my room: My Athlon 1.3, My Athlon 800 (occassionally OCed to 950) and a K6-233. First one is what I use most of the time; second one just crunches numbers for various DC projects and serves as a backup in case my main one fails, and the 233 is for playing old dos games.

 

[GonzoDaGr8]

3

1 athlon rig(my main)
1 P4 rig(wifes)
1 mac(toy)

And probably enough junk hanging around to build a 4th one

 

[notfred]

One for me, one for my girlfriend.

 

[DanFungus]

1 - XP1800+ 512MB RAM (DDR) 160GB Hard drives (4 drives = 160)
1 - Athlon 1.4 512MB RAM --parents
1 - Dual 500 Xeon Workstation
1 - Packard Bell 333MHZ 128MB SIMM RAM baby - sister (knows very little about computers)
1 - Pentium 166MHZ 128MB SIMM RAM - not used really.."internet machine"
1 - Pentium 75MHZ 6.5MB SIMM RAM Windows 3.1 - not used

 

[spanky]

i have three computers in my room. one is my main rig. the second is just backup... in case someone else wants to use a computer. the third is the router to the computers upstairs.

 

[Linux23]

5 total.


1 PDC //Fileserver (NT Server Enterprise) - Dual CPU
1 BDC //Fileserver//DHCP//Http/FTP - (Win2K Advanced Server) (8 SCSI HDD in a RAID5 Configuration)
1 Linux Router
1 Desktop W/S XP2000+ (WinXP, Win2K, Linux, Solaris)
1 Laptop (XP, Win2K, Win98)

now i want a dedicated gaming rig so that i can stick a GF4 or the new ATI R300 in....drools.


EDIT: these are all my machines, no one in my house uses them besides me. and probably
2nd EDIT: planned Win2k migration of the PDC this summer. there is just too much sensative information on that server to have go wrong.

3, one is my main rig, the second one is my daugter's for schoolwork, and the third is a test rig for checking hardware.

 

[Dan]

I have two systems: "His" and "Hers" in separate offices, at opposite ends of the house. (Networked, of course.) See the "Rigs" link in my sig for specs.
