How Many PCs Do You Own?
How Many PCs Do You Own?
I was going through my parts box looking for something the other day and realized I have 2 PCs I could build in there. Then I counted how many are around the house. There are 7 working computers in my house with 2 that I could easily throw together. Is that uncommon to have 9 computers in one house?
*Edit* - Added PCs

Re: How Many PCs Do You Own?
3 custom built desktops (all Intel builds)
1 Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2 (Intel)
1 Dell Inspiron E1705 (Intel)
I can't forget to mention the Commodore 64 and the TI 99-4A that still reside in my attic. I'm pretty sure they both work.
Oddly enough the first PC I ever built was an AMD, and yet I now have all Intel's.

Oh dang! Yeah, there is the running Apple IIE at my folks' place! Ha! I guess that technically it isn't mine though :D

Re: How Many PCs Do You Own?
I gave my sister and brother in law 2 of my old computers.
Opteron 170 and an Athlon 64 939 3000+ processors with motherboards and video cards. One is for their office and the other is for my niece and nephews.
And I forgot I have my cousin's PC sitting here waiting waiting for him to bring me his replacement motherboard he orders in November. Lucky for me I pulled his 2 320GB drives out and have them in RAID on one of my boxes. I guess when he finally comes to fix it I'll have to give them back.

Re: How Many PCs Do You Own?
I have enough that I had to make a spreadsheet of the everyday computers.
5 that see everyday use (and Fold).
A dell from a client that my son uses
probably close to a dozen sitting around that are old and still work, or are within 1 part of working.

2 working right now, 3rd is waiting on a replacement PSU. Sold most of my old junk and gave my sister-in-law a old XP and 19" LCD. Still have enough parts to put together another Core 2 if need be.
Re: How Many PCs Do You Own?
my gaming rig
my HP Pavillion Laptop
sisters Dell latitude laptop
our Dell that i've been upgrading-ish
my Athlon XP still gets use
PIII 600 guts that run(just no case, used its case for the athlon)
so we have 6 that work(minus one case), and none that don't except some miscellaneous parts, need to throw the PIII stuff away at some point...
