How many computers do you own?

What do you use your extra boxes for?

[AFB]

Me personaly, about three:
I let my sister use one.
I use one for a server.
The other one is the one I'm on and is for normal stuff.


To tell you the truth, I think we have >10 working computers in this house.
I'm not sure

 

[vi edit]

I've got one I use for browsing/gaming/burning/ect. My wife has one she uses for browsing and school stuff.

I have laptop from work that I use when sitting in front of the TV.

5 that work. well, 6, but a 13 year old powerbook doesn't do anything. i boot it every once in a while for kicks. has a dead line on the lcd.

edit: two are usually off (one has a whiny hard drive and the other only gets remote desktop'd into). main game rig, file rig (pr0n), and laptop that i take everywhere.

 

[Supermercado]

3. Main desktop that I use for pretty much everything, old desktop that I use as a HTPC and download machine, and my laptop that I use for programming and doing the same basic stuff that I do on my desktop, just not at my desktop.

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Mine, brother's, dad's laptop, tablet pc, movie server/HTPC, and a 433mhz Celeron I'll be putting to use soon, so in total 6

I also have a 386 and a P75 in my closet, and enough parts to throw together a K6-III+ system..

This is quite a moral crowd.
Not one person uses their box's for downloading porn.

That suprises me

 

[waggy]

well i have mine and my wife's laptop.

but thats because we are in a smaller house now. when we were in oure old one (5 bedrooms, living room, family room and office). we had 5 computers up and running. two in the office, one in the bedroom, one in the basement and one in the living room (crappy entertainment computer)
