only 1 within arms reach......although i do have parts to build another P4 in my room, parts for a P3 in my basement, and i have antoher computer in the basement, which i bought just so no-one would complain about the P3 being slow, so they had to use mine.....now they have no reason to touch mine
 
I've now got three
My laptop, a Duron and Pentium III system both running at 1 gig
I got the two old systems for free, so hey, free isn't that bad eh?
 
Only one here :(

Soon to be 2 after i upgrade after xmas... PCI-E, 64 Bit and Water Cooling (hopefully) here i come :D :eek: :D
 
3 for me. Not for much longer though; one of them is becoming my smoothwall in a couple weeks, so it will be relegated to a closet.
 
I have my A64, my girls AXP another AXP i'm gutting out and a A64 I built for a friend thats in the living rooom, plus the cheasy dell thats in the ofice.... for now...
 
Four if the laptop is on. My main rig, my server is 1 inch behind my main, my wifes computer, and my laptop. What if the server doesn't have a keyboard/mouse/moniter and i remote into it, does that still count? And a 5th in the garage, but i dont have any plans for it yet.
 
Only one within arms reach. 6 total that I own, some other number depending on other things.
 
I cheated - I have a box full of old Socket 5 mainboards/processors/ram/video cards under my desk :D

Add to that 2 PCs on my desk (PVR + main rig) and the server downstairs and we have... a lot.
 
At home 3: 2 for fun computers and a server
At my weekday job 4 but my partitioned area is made of piles of monitors, printers, switches, ups', and yet to be deployed computers.
At my weekend job 1 server, 1 corporate terminal, 3 tech workstations, and too many client computers.

I feel like a borg. Its like I'm tethered to the stuff. Heck my pocket pc, ipod, and cell are always traveling by my side. :p

Edit: within current arms reach 4 :eek:

"Arm's" reach boys and girls. You can lean, strech, but not move from your seat (and no, rolling doesn't count, because I'd have to add 5 more to my list). It's not a contest to see how many more you have over the next person, or what you have. Just a poll to see what you're working on right now.
 
Running the gaming rig and 2 game servers/seti crunchers under the desk, and behind me is the dually and 4 single processor servers, total without rolling my chair = 8 All machines crunching SETI 24X7 and providing vast quantities of heat :)

But I'm not addicted, I can stop any time I want to, I just don't want to...
 
10. I'll be building #11 when I finally get home. Hopefully I can start selling most of those off.

9 of those are at arms reach, but I'm no longer home to be with them :[

I had 2 others that died right before I left, so I was at 12 at one point.

Now it's just me and my laptop...until November.
