I have a friend who cut off the legs and drilled a hole in his first CPU to use as a keyring (Also a K6-2). He still has it now.

Was only the other year that I threw away my 486 Vesa motherboard, complete with 486DX4/100. Also a Dell Pentium Pro 200Mhz(try using that CPU as a keyring!)

Re: How many PCs does your household have?

1 'business' desktop for email and serious stuff
1 'gaming' desktop
1 'sacrificial' desktop for customer repair/cloning/cleaning work.

1 HP server ML310 for FTP and occasional gameservers.

1 elderly Dell laptop that bumps around in the car for site work.

and enough sprawling untidy boxes of bits for my partner to give me a lot of grief..
