Maybe 60 or so that are complete and either running or would be running if I powered them up. Add in the ones that need memory or a hard drive thrown in and it's probably around a hundred.

Own 3. 3 more I'm more-or-less responsible for maintenance. Another 2 at the house which I have agreed to 'repair'.

I own 4 at the moment.... gave my old P3 1.4 Tualatin box to a friend in need of a basic student computer.

Currently have my main windows box, the BeyondTV box, an old Pentium 150 laptop (sits at the desk of a shared grad student office... works for e-mail and I wouldn't cry if it got stolen), and the P3 1.1 CuMine box I have around for trying to learn Gentoo (reformatted to XP) (now on loan to my grandparents whose Dell P2 400 died on them a month ago).

hmm, 2 that are being used, 2 more that work (somehwat :p), and then 2 broken ones
One is my personal rig, the other is my sisters, then an old Pentium 200 MMX that makes a good, vibrating, heated footrest (has no optical drive, no GFX card, no sound card, etc.), an ancient Pentium 100 laptop, that has a broken keyboard, floppy, somewhat working hard drive, and a NiCad battery that holds a charge for exactly 7 seconds. I think I might still have a Dell 8200 that someone gave me, needs alot to "work" though.
