What would be interesting is if people calculate the average time they keep a CPU. The above 14 CPU's are spread over 30 years, so on average I keep a CPU 2.14 years.

Cryrix PR300 (Used until win XP came out)
Athlon XP 2500+ Barton (Used for about 3 years as main system)
Opteron 146 (Used for about 3-4 years as main system)
E8400 (Current CPU Had for just under a year)
Some big leaps there xD lol
Used to be a pretty much console only gamer.
Each one underwent quite a few upgrades and all bar the Cyrix has been used daily up until about 6month ago.
The Opty is sitting unused, the Barton is sitting in a shuttle and a 4400+ x2 has been popped into a new shuttle also.

I've had a load of others in with that lot including but off the top of my head that's most of them, everything from bringing them in direct from the US, importing water cooling kits from DD, running pelts and destroying XP's along with radiator paint unlocks, socket volt mods and all sorts of other weird and wonderful stuff.
