How many computers do you have lying around the house?

[WkdPaul]

too many is the correct answer I guess ...

 

4 laptops (2 not working anymore waiting to be dropped at the recycling center)

4 desktop (my main rig, my old HTPC, my old NAS, my brother's upcoming gaming rig)

 

Those are full machines, I have lots of spare parts laying around ... I even have a few that are still BNIB !!! 

[IntMD]

Ones that are in use to varying degrees...

 

1 Desktop

2 Laptops

1 Raspi 3

1 Raspi 4

1 Android tablet

 

Older stuff lying around somewhere that probably still work...

 

1 Netbook

Various old GPUs

1 X58 motherboard, with RAM & CPU in it

1 old HAF 922 (if I remember correctly)

1 old Nexus 7

From being old probably
 

I think I have my old K2-350 lying around.  I haven't gotten rid of PC stuff in decades really.

 

I'm at 2.5 PC's.  Emma, Plex and then most of my old e4300 machine.

[Founders]

My main desktop I built, My Macbook when I'm on the go, and an old Dell desktop I configured with a Core 2 Quad, 8GB of RAM and a 256 SSD for around $50 all in. I try to sell off anything else to avoid e-waste.

Main Computers:

• R5 2700x/16gb/GTX 1060 6g
• i5 7600k/16gb/GTX 750ti
• Early 2008 24" iMac (decked-out for the time, but nearing useless now) C2D 3.06ghz/4gb/8800 GS
• i5 4570/8gb/GTX 960 (ITX HTPC for 4k Minecraft, CS:GO, and TF2)
• Dell E6320 laptop with a i5 2520/8gb. Hearty setup, kind of clapped-out, but it fits in my motorcycle topcase.

Stuff laying around with varying levels of potential:

• Athlon 870k/16gb (Decent setup on an A88X board, might be a file server at work soon)
• Dell Vostro 230 C2D e7400/4gb
• Dell XPS 7100 Phenom x6 1035t/8gb/Quadro 4000
• Pi 1
• Pi 3
• Intel DG31PR/E6400 (I think)/4gb It has a diskette controller on board, moderate utility sometimes when I need to read a diskette.

Old crap, basically:

• Compaq e-PC 42 OG Pentium 4/512mb, I have two, one for spare parts but haven't used in a long time
• Mac Mini, first gen with the now useless 1.25ghz G4. Essentially a doorstop but it's the only Mac I've bought new
• Early 2001 iMac 500mhz. Biggest paperweight I own, but it still works. 
• Compaq laptop Athlon XPM-2500/512mb/video card I don't remember.

[dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd]

In use :

3 desktops (main rig, folding rig, NAS)

1 laptop

 

Lying around :

1 netbook, but that's in the "electronics for the recycling center" bin right now and will be gone shortly. 

I hate to throw out stuff that still works, but even with Puppy Linux it just isn't usable anymore.  Time to get rid of it. 

[Necrovarius]

i have:

1 Gaming Computer

1 Low Tier Gaming/File Server/Rendering Machine

1 Streaming PC

 

2 Client Laptops in the process of fixing

 

1 Desktop from an old Amazon Employee looking to fix up and sell

1 Old (Burning Crusade Era) PC running Lakka Emulator

2  Old Laptops that are ready for the scrap pile

 

A Metric Ton of spare parts ranging from Windows 98 hardware to a GTX970

[drk]

Currently have 4 computers that are used frequently enough to not warrant a dismantle. It consists of 2 high end Gaming/Workstations in my office, a HTPC in the family room and a laptop (If I want to sit in a Starbucks and try to write a script about the story that is my life but be continually stuck on the first line...) 

[kaiju_wars]

I have too many, a stack of over 10 laptops under my desk.

 

I have at least 7 desktops in the spare room.  People like to give me their spare parts.  I'm slowly in the process of downsizing and getting rid of all of them though

 

[Murasaki]

Uh...3. If you count a laptop thats 4.

[TacticlTwinkie]

I have 2 old desktops: one Ivy Bridge i5, and a really old Xeon based system. I also have 2 old retired laptops in my closet. I also have a box of old parts, 2 empty cases in my closet, plus my daily driver desktop and laptop. My roommates each have a laptop of their own. I also have a Haswell based Xeon workstation at the office I use for my job, but my employer supplied that. Thought it should count since it is the system I use the most.

[Commodus]

Suddenly I feel thrifty for 'just' having two active machines, an iMac and a MacBook Pro.  There's also a 2002-era PowerBook G4 sitting in the closet, but unless someone can repair the broken hinge (and likely replace the battery) it's not coming back.

[Katarn]

3 active desktops, 2 active laptops, and 5 inactive desktops.

About to buy another desktop this month.

I have spare parts to build like 10 PCs. I got most my parts from upgrading old PCs, building new PCs for people and them giving me their old one, motherboard upgrades, etc. You can build up a nice collection in 10 plus years like I have. Altho I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff lately.

I use my two gaming computers with i7 8086ks with 2080 tis.

 

I also have 2 old multimedia computers that I am refreshing. They are going from i5 2500ks with a GTX 970 and 980 to an i7 6700k and i7 8700k with GTX1080s. I have these parts laying around and I have been just too lazy to do the work. 

 

My Son has a i9 9900k rig with 1080 tis in SLI and a i7 6700k with a single 1080 ti. He also has a HP Omen gaming laptop.

 

The two computers that are not in use are an old Core 2 Duo E8400 rig and the first computer a bought, an Atari 400.

[TrainFan475]

I have my main Ryzen+1070 desktop, my casual Core2 quad desktop, my family i3-2100 computer, 2 crappy laptops, and a Windows 98 desktop in the basement. I have various parts laying around too, though not enough to build a PC.

[JessTheGreat146]

Oh my, I have like 6 to 7 in various states, most of them very old, in the my parents garage. Then at my house I have my main tower, a laptop and a little dell OptiPlex fx160. And quite a few laptops between the places that I have started selling. I have just collected so many from people who have either had old stuff and gave it to me for free or I bought for like 5 bucks at the scrapyard.
