I thought it may be interesting to see how many computers we crunch on, as we all know Ady has the Deep Blue super computer on the case ;)

I've got on 2 PCs, although one of them is just a very slow server that I use in the flat to store Photos, MP3's etc.

Two.

I do have three machines, the third is inactive atm, built to be a multi-media machine but I can't get an image from it on my CRT TV.

So I either need to buy a flat screen TV with a PC input or buy a VGA to composite video converter.

1st option is about £600.00 but looks nice, 2nd option is about £80.00.

But I'm still thinking about it and in truth a little skint atm.

I waffled on a bit there, didn't I? So, in short - two.

Just the one beast at the moment, althought I am trying to get one of my other machines back online!

A few more weeks I reckon ...

Does it take PCI or AGP cards? If so you can get really cheap graphics cards with TV out now :)

AGP. It doesn't have to be High Spec, there's an XFX Nvidia FX5700LE with 128Mb in there atm.

I tried every converter lead and TV input imaginable to try and get an image but all I got was a frozen image of the desktop. Very frustrating. I would guess it doesn't have TV out, it's not mentioned in the manual.

I have a 9800 Pro spare but I'm not sure it would fit, there's not a lot of room in the case. And I'm not even sure offhand whether that has TV out or not.

Anyways, I'm going off topic here, I may start a new thread about this machine :)
