Within your household, how many computers?

Just wondering within your household: how many deskops, laptops, iphones, ipads, printers, and routers do you have in service (as in not sitting in your closet collecting dust) and why so many?

I've been wanting to build a new pc for the sole purpose of running windows server and it struck me that we have so much stuff in the house.

1 desktop computer
2 tablets (iPad and an old kindle fire gathering dust)
1 e-reader
3 cellphones (my galaxy S4, my old smartphone, and a flip phone from like 8 years ago)
3 laptops (my macbook air that I use every day, a netbook hooked up to my TV that I use to run NES emulators on at parties, and a ~5 year-old laptop gathering dust)
 
In service, not collecting dust or "I plan to sell one day":

2 desktops
1 laptop
1 iPad
3 cell phones
 
1 gaming desktop
1 gaming laptop
1 old dell crap laptop
1 smartphone
1 SNES!!!

next year when i get married she will bring her laptop and smartphone.
 
1 desktop/HTPC (it's a desktop, but it's linked to the home theater for when we want bigscreen gaming or a media server)
1 laptop
0 tablets
2 smartphones
0 printers
1 router

We also have three laptops, one desktop and lots of assorted components gathering dust, along with a printer which has been in "I'll hook it up this weekend" status for roughly three years. And there's the PS3 and Xbox 360, both wirelessly connected to the network.
 
1 Desktop
2 Laptops
2 Smartphones
1 Printer
1 Router

I primarily use the desktop. If I want to sit on the porch and browse the net when smoking a cigar I use my old junker laptop that I'll probably replace with a tablet in the near future. GF has a laptop as her only machine. And we both have smartphones.
