What's the longest you have gone without using your main PC? (Doesn't include your laptop)

Once I had finished building my PC I used it non-stop for a month and then only used it a few times over 2 weeks xD

Who else did this?

Longest I've gone without using my old PC was 2 weeks.

Just the PC in 1 configuration? Or including my weekly/fortnightly re-iteration where my Xeon X5450 pisses me off, or my H87M motherboard, or my GTX 970-and so on?

MY PC?

2 and a half months, because my motherboard riperoni'd and I had to send my PC back.. (pre built master race?) and it was away for like 1 and a half months, but just as it was repaired, I went on vacation..

I don't actually know. I guess a week or two while I was away. I don't bring my PC/laptop on vacations. I try to relax as much as I can, or I bring my laptop and don't boot it up. More as a just in case kind of thing, for handling emails, skype and so on. :)

 

Edit: Oh, you mean like computers in general or just my main PC? If main PC is the one in question, then over a month, maybe a month and a half or so. :)

This current PC? Err was something like 8 days when I went away last year to see some friends in Tasmania & Victoria, didn't even take my laptop with me. Just my phone, iPod & a couple of books. I didn't even miss not having a computer, I only wished I had a more capable phone since it struggled to do a lot of stuff other than make calls, send texts, use Twitter & Instagram..

 

Edit: when my last PC died in 2011 I was without a PC for like 12 months I only had my MacBook which then was 4 years old, I used that until I could afford to scrape together some $$ to get some budget parts to have something again, and it's still going strong!

Two weeks while on holiday. I use my main PC for all kinds of things, not just fun stuff, so I'm kinda screwed without it. I have a crappy laptop, but using that is a last resort.

I love having tons of PCs around, but I'm not someone who has to have them to survive. I can go for quite a while without pining for my laptop. Longest ever, Probably.... about a month? I was fine. I can go for longer, though.

A full weekday on a regular basis since 2 years ago, but my pc once broke and too retarded to deal with it which led me to a whole year with no pc or laptop, just my lovely ps2. I also survived with only a macbook pro for 2 years before getting an imac which survived a year until i got my gaming pc
