I can think of many households/people that own more than one PC - especially us enthusiasts! How many do you own?
 
I have my main rig and an Apple iBook. But I've almost got enough spare parts for a second machine - so maybe I'll have three soon;)
 
1) Shiny Beast - Main One (see sig) (XP3200)
2) Andromeda - video & audio editing (XP3200)
3) Psion - Daughter's Computer (XP1700)
4) Perseus - was linux, now up for sale (XP2400)
 
I've got my main one (P4 3.4 HT, X850XT, 2GB), flat server (P4 2.66, 512MB) and there's Beckys (2.8Ghz, 512MB, 5200FX).

Like the names btw Floppy!
 
Main rig, secondary rig, and IBM Laptop (paid for by the company). My son got an HP laptop as a unwanted gift which is now under negotiation to sell off to a friend.
 
I don't know how many PCs I personally own or what you would consider mione but here is my list
HP430n which has been modded and converted into a gaming rig
gateway 2000 running win98se-(slaved only has mp3s on it at the moment)
Parents HP470n (which I contantly have to maintain because parents are T.S.T.O. )
Left over parts from modding hp in gamming rig -- almost a full computer(no optical drives or mobo but new one comming for gaming rig so i will have this one running.)
Building a system for my girlfreind, parts come in tommorow
so is that like 3+ there will eventually be 5 pcs in my home.
 
Dear Quad

This might be slightly off topic but if you don't get any luck selling the laptop, would you consider me? I would DIE for one after being 14 months without my beauty (ex works one which went when I changed jobs). Might be getting a Blackberry with new works but have to see.....

Why would I not consider you? Of course I will, but I would not advise you to get it. Allow me to explain it in a PM which I will send to you shortly :)
 
i've got a serious problem.

I'm a geek!

6 rigs!

2 x windows servers, 1 x unix server, 1 x laptop, 1 x Windows desktop, 1x Unix desktop
 
priceless, centimental value more than anything, lol ;)

nah, not worth alot, lappy was quite dear but the rest are older machines, 1 of which i bought of ebay for £30 and it does the job perfectly!
 
About fifteen altogether (can't be bothered getting up and counting them). That includes the one laptop and a few Macs and all working. There's also enough spare parts to build about six more. That doesn't include the visitors' pcs waiting to be fixed.

I think I need a larger house. :)
 
Hi All...

Gabriella - I think postage would be a bit steep from the Indus Valley (is that right!??)

Quad - Whats up with it?

Techy - Your a nutter!

My rigs:

Sam - My PC
Best rig in the house - Abit IC7-G, 3.02GHz P4 (Oc'd), 512Mb OCZ PC4200 RAM (DC'd), 2x Samsung Spin Point SATA drives in RAID 0, ATI Radeon 9800pro @ 9800XT Speeds... Win XP

Turbonutter - Parents Office Pc
Second best - near identical to mine - Abit IC7-G, 2.8GHz P4, 512Mb GeIL PC3200, Samsung Spinpoint 80Gb SATA drive, ATI Radeon 9600XT, Win XP

Slug_On_Acid - Sisters Bedroom PC
Third best in house (Though it's dead at the moment - wont POST for some unknown reason, will start new thread when i get time) - AMD Athlon 2000+, Abit KV7 Mb, 256Mb PC2100 RAM, Seagate Barracuda SATA 80Gb drive, nVidia PNY FX5700LE @ MUCH faster speeds (see review!), Win XP

Eric - Lounge PC
Not the best one in the house - but it does do it's job. AMD Duron 1400 Applebred, 4Gb Quantum Fireball HDD, Integrated GeForce 2 Graphics, 256Mb Crucial PC2100 RAM, Win. XP

Posnet - The Network
Standard P2P network, Not Client-Server based, wouldn't for the life of me know how to set one of them up!! Files shared in shared folder, Shared internet connection.

Hardware
- Netgear DG814 ADSL Modem Router + 4 Port Switch (Not being used as modem)
- Connexant Hasbani 1 port Modem router
- 5 port Netgear FS105 autosensing switch

Complex i know....for what we have.... it works.

All of the above connects our network to the High Speed 2Mb (Uncapped) Internet connection we have.

Off to college now... Chris :)
