Quite often, tech junkies, like myself, have 2, 3, 4+ PCs of their own. How many do you currently have?
 
I currently have 5 working PC's (and they are all being used):
 
- the P4 rig in the sig
- P3 800EB, 512 Mb RAM
- P2 450, 384 Mb RAM (firewall)
- K6/2 300 @ 366MHz, 256 Mb RAM (fax, printer, file sharing)
- K6/2 300 @ 366MHz, 256 Mb RAM (used for browsing)

I have three right now. It was 4 but I gave an old P3 away. I actually have no more Intel as my Intel laptop died.

Actually, I came to the conclusion that having that many PC's is actually my fault.
 
I simply cannot sell my old hardware. There have been very few times in my life I disposed of old hardware.  
 
The 5 listed are working, but I still have a plethora of components that could be built into fully working machines (mobo, CPU, ram, HD, case, psu, etc, etc, etc). Most of them are P2, K6-2 and previous generations.

Bloody Foreigners!!

I can't get rid of hardware either.  My lowest specced was a 486SX25, until I used its case as a mounting/weather shield for my projector.
 
Now the lowest is a 486SX33 ;)
