QotD: All My Computers
How many computers do you have in your house?

About 5
Working:
- Windows desktop (runs kwc.org, does all my photo editing). This is the computer that I first built in college, though it no longer has any original parts
- HP 'Livestrong' laptop. Won this in a Trek Tour de France contest in July. This is now my principle laptop.
Retired:
- Dell laptop. I didn't really buy this as a laptop; I bought it for it's
large widescreen display (1900x1200) to watch movies. I was choosing
between an iMac-ish computer and this. Dell had a 50% deal and a better
screen, so I went with the Dell. Now that I have the HP, this rarely gets turned.
- Windows desktop. Leftover parts and previous case from my current desktop. With about $100 of parts, it could be running again, but I don't need the additional headache.
Not mine:
- My desktop frequently scoffs at the G4 PowerBook sitting next to it. One of these days there may be a MacBook Pro to teach it some respect.
At work:
- Dual Xeon workstation. My next home machine will probably be dual processor after playing with this beast.
- Dell X300. Sweet <3lb laptop that is starting to show its age and damage from mishandling.
