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
Main PC in my signature.
HTPC - E6750, Gigabyte GA-935-S3L, 4GB DDR2 800, 8800GTS 320MB, Hauppauge PVR-150
Surfer/Cable TV Recorder - Phenom X3 8450, Foxconn M61PMV, 2GB DDR2 800, 9400GT, Hauppauge HVR-1250
Netbook - Asus Eee 1000HA upgraded to 2GB DDR2 800 - it's still slow
Other PC - CoreDuo E2100, Gigabyte GA-935-S3L, 2GB DDR2 800, 7600GT
Laptop - Sony VAIO, Pentium M 1.5Ghz, 512MB DDR 333
Old Schooler - Athlon XP 2100+, Asus A7N8X-X , 768MB DDR 400, 9600 Pro

CPU/Motherboard Sitting
Old HTPC - Sempron 64 2800+, ECS nForce3, 512MB DDR 400, 6800nu
First Homemade PC - Athlon Thunderbird 1.2Ghz, Gigabyte GA-7ZXE, 384MB SDR 133, several old AGP cards to choose from

PCs I gave to my sister's family
Dual Core - Opteron 170, EPoX EP-9U1697GLI-J GLI, 3GB DDR 400, ATi HD3450
Single Core - Athlon 64 3000+ (Skt 939), Abit AV8, 1.5GB DDR 400, 9800 Pro

With the exception of the two laptops all of my PCs are homebrew.

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. :lol:

Oddly enough the first PC I ever built was an AMD, and yet I now have all Intel's. :supz:

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.

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.
