Then I've got a few dozen laptops, most of which are running Windows 2K or Windows 98.

are you building a farm/cluster or something?

Nope, I have an ISP in my basement and a bad habit of collecting far more spare machines than I really need. I'm actually trying to cut down on the number of machines that are running at any given time, but I'm stuck in that awkward phase where the new systems are online but not all functions have been migrated off of the old systems yet.

1-Gaming Box, XP
2-Notebook, XP. I would like to have Linux on this one, but I have the Centrino Wireless card in it, and AFAIK, there are no drivers for it.

I just got 2 myself right now. My desktop and my notebook. At one point, I was going to build an XPC, but the funds never materialized and now I have other draws on my cash supply.

I'm on my Gentoo (fluxbox) box now, to my left. It's running the Anandtech CS Server and is what I use as a main desktop. To my right, on the other side of my sub, is my Win2k Pro box running my ftp/http/file server.

I have seven laptops sitting in a box behind me. At the back of my living room, I have a rackmount SCSI raid array and a super server case that is basically real PC that controls the rackmount. I've got two more old boxes (PI and PII). I've got stacks of hard drives, network cards, a video card, a floppy, a sound card, and lots of cat5/power/speaker cables everywhere in/on/around my desk.

I personally have two as seen in my signature. Plus another one in my brother's room; all connected wirelessly. Two of the three are gaming computers with the older pentium being used as a media server.
