well, my home computer is MUCH better then "my" work computer. However, some of the servers at work that I support are FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR more expensive then all of my home computers added up.

I write-off both my computer and my broadband access because they are mainly used for work purposes and I get paid by a 3rd party so I would say I do have a job.

My work is faster but doesn't have a good video card so my home one is overall better for gaming.

Both of my work computers are nicer than all 3 of my home PC's and my one laptop lol...

I am slow to update, lost interest in computer hardware.

Well, the work servers are worth more than I make in a year, but I probably get better FPS on Quake IV on my home computer.

My work computer used to be my home computer.
OC'ed Sempy 3400+ (2.6GHz), Abit KV8 Pro, 9800 Pro, 768MB.
Home is now an OC'ed Venice 3000+ (2.6GHz), Abit NV8, X1900XT, 1.5GB. Not that big of an upgrade besides the gfx and a little more RAM.

Yes, I really do work with it. If CS:S. etc. counts j/k :p
