How many computers do you own?

[Ian]

I can think of many households/people that own more than one PC - especially us enthusiasts! How many do you own?

 

[1nteger]

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).

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.

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

ma network, changed a bit in the last week or so but same hardware.

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.

My friend just agreed to go for it, now my son is thinking of going for one of these when he finally gets the proceeds from its sale.
