Thumbs up How many PCs does your household have?

Obviously, they can have an impact on your electric bill, spare time, distract from social interactions and relationships etc., but we can't seem to get enough of the little blighters!
They're so great!

We have '8' in current service (and two spares [both SFF], used for various projects and troubleshooting).
2 Laptops
1 living room desktop (tower)
2 bedroom desktops (both SFF)
3 desktops in my rumpus room (2 towers 1 SFF)



(If someone could fix the title, that would be peachy. Was going to add a poll, but ho-hum!)

Malfunction.
Was just putting a thread together, and had a personal crisis!

(Was actually having a phone conversation with someone, while flicking the dust out of my keyboard with a paintbrush, and it got sent off!)

Re: How many PCs doea your household have?

1 laptop in my daughter's room
1 laptop for work
1 desktop for my photography and games (i7)
1 desktop as media centre in the livingroom
1 desktop waiting to be sold
1 iphone

in truth, way more than are necessary.

Exactly the same, I just can't bring myself to chuck them out, maybe I'll need a spare part one day.

And an iTouch if that count as a PC

Hadn't considered game consoles!
Feeling a little better about my computer dependence now though, after reading some of these posts.

Re: How many PCs does your household have?

I have the following active machines....
Dell Studio 1735 as main laptop
Dell Optiplex 745 sff as media centre
HP DC7600 as office machine/internet browser and software troubleshooter
HP d530 same as above
Nokia N900 (If you can count the iPhone you can definitely count this!)

Also will be ordering a HP 311 netbook later in the week

And a pile of old machines, some shuttle barebones and an o2 XDA mini-s

That's technically for two of us but realistically My partner only uses my laptop and even thats only until her HP 311 arrives so most of those are just for me.
