4-5 if I can keep them all running :). Mostly 2-3 are crunching for FAD only. The other 2 are my kids but crunch quite a bit for FAD as well. Plan to build a few more this year if all goes well.

4, My main rig for everything. My Thunderbird system, as a backup to access the net & stuff, also for FaD & some older games. My K6/2-500 system, pretty much only for FaD, but can use it for the web & older games, just have to connect it. & my "second main rig", the one my brother uses, just a bit slower than my main one but not by much.
soon it may be 5 or 6 systems, I got the Celeron board that i'm slowly getting together, when I have time, for FaD, then I had that old Lappy, but its dead yet its not dead, bad drive controller, but other than that evrything works on it. I may be buying another cheap mobo or something older down the road here. the local Computer renaissance had a old AST 486 lappy for $10, not sure if its a color lcd or not, just says Dual scan something or other, but I'm assuming it is, I'd only use it for word processing or playing some old school games like Duke Nukem, or Space quest or something (the guy said it will run Win95 though), they also had a Slot 1 P3 650 board for $30, no RAM though, but does have a 1x/2x AGP slot.
I got to see about moving my K6/2 system to another part of the house on another circuit, as the 3 systems in my room are all on the same circuit & for the last few days Ive been getting the lights in the room occasionally to dim for brief moments, plus the power was out & reset a couple of times the other night. Luckily teh K6/2 aint connected to the network so I can move it anywhere, maybe move it downstairs & get a cheap monitor for it & let mom & dad use it, get 2 wireless cards & put one in that system & teh otehr in my main rig with XP on it & set up internet sharing.

I'm just going to pick the ones I actively use and not count the FaD only systems. So for me it's 6: my laptop (primary), my desktop (games/multimedia), and 4 desktops at work (different function for each one).

4 roaming Laptops, at home. All the desktops are either broken up or in the loft now, nowhere else to put them!

The ones you use yourself.

Let's see, there is one in almost every room of the house, one in the shed, two roaming laptops. I tend to use them all, as I use whatever PC is on in the room I'm in. :p Oh, and one at work on my desk. :D
I won't count the file/queue/domain server, web server or IPCop router (they have no keyboard/mouse/monitor).
So that makes 10. ;)

HDDs and go to several op. sys.

2 for me and 2 for the kids.
I also use mobile racks to be able to get to an OS for somethings that I can't remember anymore.

Well, I have my main box with an xp1700 o.c.ed to 2.3 gig.Then I have FaD2, which has an xp1800 o.c.ed to 2.3 gig.Then I have FaD3 which has an old xp2100 palamino core o.c.ed to 1.9 gig.The my latest edition, FaD4 my duallie, running mp2400's o.c.ed to 2.1 gig.All run w2kpro, and crunch FaD 24/7.As soon as I get my h2o setup for the duallie, and get it installed, and working properly, and a large hdd for it, I will be switching it to my main rig, and the current main rig will strictly crunch FaD.All are currently connected to the internet, and I use each one,at different times.Gotta keep the cobwebs blown outta them you know, giving them a good workout from time to time!! :rolleyes

Over 20 here, all do something. I spend time on 4 of them daily. Plus the one ( it changes - a build, an upgrade, a tweaking session, etc. ) I'm always working on.

Currently I have two set up side by side. I usually have at least 3 running. My main machine is triple boot, ME, 2KPro and XP Home. Next to it is my old HP Vectra(back up machine) running 98SE. I like to keep at least thoase 4 OS's readily available for reference when helping on forums. The 3rd would be my daughter's computer which I sold recently cuz we needed some cash. She can use one of mine for now. I usually, tho, have about 5 or 6 laying around for testing or rebuilding to sell. Stock is low right now, tho. :lol: He-He!
