We never throw things out: 2 of the desktops and 1 notebook are HP This computer I'm typing from is a HP Pavillion a220n, AMD Athlon 512 memory, 120 GB Hard Drive, and the smaller HP is a Pavilion with a 99 GB Hard Drive and Intel Pentium. The HP notebook is a Compaq Presario 1500 (kinda old but it took Explorer 7 easily enough). The other Desktops are a Gateway and an E Machine (still functional good for the kids) and the other notebook is the new Fujitsu with Windows Vista (our only Vista so far). All of the rest run on Windows XP. We did have a Sony notebook (still works) but we gave it to my 21 year old son when his Avertec notebook had a power problem (he's still looking into salvaging it).

I have four, all self built, all AMD processors of various flavors. The oldest being a K6-400Mhz; the newest being a Sempron 3000. All run various flavors of Windows. All are networked. I am researching parts for another unit, which will run Ubuntu Linux.
3 working, 1 possibly working, and 2 dead but fixable.

I have one, a Micron and it is still churning away. The only problem I have had with it is two of my drives are out(6.5 and DVD)and it makes life a little difficult.

Just got a new (ok, refurb but new to the house) HP A1610n desktop. Bought it specifically because it has XP Media Center for the OS instead of Vista, due to all the horror stories I've heard and read about that.

the gateway desktop came first in 1997, and still runs great, but it's windows 95 and hasn't been turned on in almost a year. it's a mamoth. it's so huge.
the dell came second, a deal on QVC right after windows xp came out. it constantly had problems, and bit the dust last year. it was shut off in january of 06, and i am afraid to turn it back on. i think the hard drive died b/c it makes a really weird noise and runs really, really slowly.
my sister and i both have dell desktops (one from '04 and one from '05) for school, and the family has a dell ('06) desktop at home.
all 5 take up way too much space. i really want...need a laptop...
4 including "headless" Server...

Fujitsu C-2210 Lifebook running XP Pro SP2 on wireless Private Home Network, Micro ATX Aria(Antec case) wired Desktop running Dedicated XP Pro SP2 and Micro ATX Antec NSK 2400 Desktop running Vista Business x 86. Currently, the Vista Desktop has a incompatible Intel D101GGC board w/ a Pentium R 3.20 Ghz. 1512 Mb. Ram to be soon replaced with a Intel DQ965GF board.
Lee, that's three(3) activated and genuine MS Software which are client PC's for the Windows Home Server RC1(Antec Aria case with Intel Desktop board D101GGC w/ Pentium D 2.66 Ghz. 512 Mb Ram).
Not violating my NDA, but this will be a great product for multiple PC homes.

Between my son and I we have three Macs; a desktop each (Old Blue and Whites - one accelerated to 900Mhz, one still at 350 Mhz - and a 1.5Ghz 12" PowerMac G4 laptop used for presentations and the odd video job that the desktops are too slow for.
Six? Why?

Better to recycle, than trash'em! Besides, how would you feel if told you are to be tossed out and replaced by the latest, flashy, unknown?
And it makes it easier to give someone a working machine, without the aggravation of starting from scratch.
Older machines still working are less of a worry when using them outside the house.

I have four, two desktops and two laptops. I own a Gateway running MS Vista and a laptop running MS XP2. Then, I have an HP running Simply Mepis Linux and a new Dell with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled. If that's not enough for you, I have an HP pocket computer with EC installed and another, a Palm, with Mobile MS installed. Why so many and the different OS's, you ask. Because I'm a computer nut and have to try every new thing that comes down the pike. What's my favorite? The HP with Simply Mepis on it; it outperforms MS in all ways, IMHO!

I have a 3 year-old Mac PowerBook and a 5 year-old Mac iBook. These are absolutely fine for both work and play. Decluttered approx 6 other working and might-come-in-useful-for-spares PCs and haven't missed them at all. Now have time for a life...
