I am thinking of adding a Server 2003 or Server 2008 machine in my apartment to manage them. Or maybe a HTPC....
Can you be too rich, too thin or have too many computers?......

Reminds me of this bash quote:

http://bash.org/?5273

hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

I have one desktop for me, a laptop in a docking station 100% of the time for the wife, a laptop for work (usually docked) and a desktop I am planning on setting up for the kids. Final score: Desktops 2, Laptops 2).

I also have a desktop (with CPU, RAM, HD, DVD, etc.) that I am planning on selling (Shuttle SD36G5M - LOL!!!: I wrote this review!)

I have two desktops and a laptop. Husband has an iMac and an iPhone. :roll: The iMac is new, so I'm getting rid of one of the desktops (which my husband used), and maybe the laptop.

So that's 4? 4 and a half?

 

[BurnItDwn]

Only counting machines that are currently hooked up and running
1 htpc
2 desktops
2 laptops
1 server

Between the GF and I, we have 1 more laptop and 3 more desktops that are not hooked up. Her laptop is a decent machine, (p4 with 768mb of ram), however, the LCD is broken and we don't really need a third desktop, so it's been unused the last few months. Eventually we will find some room for it and I'll hook it up with a Monitor ... Or I'll replace the screen ... but that isn't a top priority right now. There are 4 of us living in the house, and it seems like we can never have too many machines :0
I'd like to eventually get another HTPC for the other TV, perhaps whenever I can budget the funds to upgrade one of my desktops, I'll use my old desktop as a second HTPC. But it'll be a while before that, I spent the last several months accumulating a frightening credit card balance (bought a new house before I sold the old one and then lost money when selling the old one.) It'll take me at least a year or so to pay the balance down, and I am not about to charge even more to the CC for an upgrade that I don't really "need" yet. Maybe next year

[Uppsala9496]

2 desktops (XP Pro)
1 laptop (XP Home)
Soon to be another desktop with Linux.

All run Folding@Home. My brother has about 6 at home which I run folding on. You can never have too many computers.

 

[zoiks]

7 machines in total. Plus I have another laptop that I never use thats in the closet.
1 lappie - IBM T43 (work) - windowsxp
2 windows machines.
4 linux boxes.

 

[funkymatt]

3 systems are always on, my main machine, the HTPC in the bedroom and the HTPC/wife's machine in the living room. My son's computer is sometimes on but it's currently undergoing an upgrade. Then we have the 2 laptops one of which is seldom on. I also have a motherboard out on my bench for testing as well as a complete system for testing.

what is that... 8?

 

[mugs]

Oh jeez...
Functional -
2 Dell laptops circa 2002 running Ubuntu; one is hooked up to the receiver in my living room to play music
Linux server that I use mostly for experimentation
HTPC
Personal computer
Wife's personal computer
My current laptop
Wife's current laptop

Also have wife's old laptop that just needs to have a stick of memory removed and a reformat, but I have no use for it at the moment.

So 8.5 between 2 people; 6 for just me.

Edit: Oh yeah, I also have an old Compaq compact PC, but I couldn't get Ubuntu installed on it.

 

[imported_Imp]

Two if you count my PS3. One for real. Whenever I get a new one, the old one goes into "storage". I don't need a dedicated server/downloader machine, so I'm happy.
