I’m beginning to think the amount I use and the amount of pc's in my house is getting to be a bit too much. They just keep multiplying lol, at the start of the year I tried to cut down the amount of pc’s I had and build up one that did everything but then I had 3 now I have close to 8 :(

I’ll give you a run down.

My Bedroom:
Main Rig- E6600, 8800GTS, 24” dell
HTPC- E6300 ultra quite hooked upto a 46” 1080p LCD,
Router- Compaq deskpro EN running clarkconnect

Storeroom:
Mini-ITX epia 1.2ghz file server
P3 800, download box (torrents, emule, usenet & FTP)

Living Room:
HTPC2- E4400 near silent hooked upto a 42” Plasma

Laptops:
Lifebook s7010 (brothers for web and word stuff)
Toshiba Tablet (mine for web and remote desktop to file server and download box)

Every time I finish with one I just want some new project to work with. Some other computer aided little helper, entertainment giver around the house, am I all alone in this obsession, am I going nuts?

I own about 4 PCs but of them I only really use one desktop, have the laptop for occasional use, one laptop stays back at my parents house for them to use and the other PC sits untouched as it isn't really useful for anything other than old DOS games. :)
 
I basically gradually upgrade my computer as time goes along, I never overhaul things at the same time unless things have happened to wrong, as they did yesterday :/

So I always have:

1 desktop Pc

And now i have a laptop, though I don't really know why I bought it. I guess I wanted to try out Vista on a machine I didn't really care about.

Pc-AMD 6000+, 2GB PC5400 RAM, RAID 0 2x36GB Raptors, RAID 1 2x500GB WD AAKS, Asus M2N-E, Enermax 550W, Creative Fata1ty, BFG 8800GTS. Lol, saying that this rig is pretty sweet atm if you don't mind me saying so.

Didnt realise people had so many PC's !!!! Ive onlly got the 1 (as sig) but as its fairly un-upgradable (s939, AGP, DDR1), i intend to buy a whole new PC and keep this one. Don't want to tear apart this good PC for that sake of the the case and cd drives.
 
My New computer
My linux computer
My laptop
Brothers Laptop
Mum's laptop
mum's pointless laptop (spinny screen but no CD drive ? :S)
Dad's Computer
Mum's computer

Hmm, no wonder my sister feels left out ;)
What really boggles the brain though, is why my mum has 4 mobile phones :s
