How many Macs (and computers) do you own?

I have 4.

I have my gaming desktop: 2.0GHZ Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 2GB DDR2 667MHZ, 320GB HD, Dual Layer DVD-RW, Geforce 8600GTS "superclocked" 512MB

My Macbook, specs below...

A Bondi Blue G3 imac, 233MHZ, 128MB RAM, 10GB HD, CD Drive, no OS right now...

Then another desktop, 1.8GHZ P4, 1GB RAM, 40GB HD, SiS 680 lol

I only use my gaming desktop and my macbook. The other two are just for when I feel like messing with them really...

3 Mac Mini's (all 2.0GHz Core 2 Duos, all 2GB Ram)

1 24" Core2 Extreme 2.8GHz Aluminum iMac, 4GB Ram

1 2.4GHz Core2 Duo Macbook Pro, 4GB Ram

I personally own two computers -- my MacBook, and a Dell Dimension tower that I've hardly ever touched since I got my MacBook. (And when I DO use the Dell, I'd say at least 90% of the time I use Linux rather than Windows.)

Technically I own three...there's a Sony Vaio tower that my wife calls her own, but she bought it with our tax refund about four years ago, so I say it's part mine too, so nyaaa!

I'll start off with the relics.
2 Desktops (one HP, one IBM) both sitting in the closet
1 Compaq laptop that is as old as........(I'm keeping because it was my first laptop, I'm too sentimental)
Working computers.
Two HP desktops (one mine one my husbands)
One HP laptop (work computer)
Now My pride and joy's!!
One Mac Book Pro
and
One G5 Tower.
I would get rid of the relics, but I just can bring my self to throw some thing out, even though thats all their worth.:Blushing:

Only my first which I got last week.....for now.....but trust me, there will be MANY more in the future. Go Apple!

I just added a second computer to the arsenal.
It's a Summer '01 (last gen) Snow G3 iMac 600MHz. I picked up on CraigsList for $40 with a keyboard and mouse. I promise not to turn this one into a cat bed.

2 PC's (HP and a Emachines), G3, and MBP, and of course an iPod

eh salvage the hard drives and make a bank of em, and piece the rest out on ebay.

Thought i revive this thread.
Nick if you see this, where is the thread with all your Mac's ??? Cant find it, is why i am reviving this one.

Well now i have a My beloved
2010 13" MBP with the 4GB RAM and 250HD

Indigo iMac DV SE (summer 2000) 500Mhz 1GB RAM and the 30GB HD. As you can see this baby was decked out to the max for its time.

And i have recently bought for a carton of beer this Power Macintosh G3 Tower (Blue and White) 450Mhz 1GB RAM and 12GB HD. This beauty is running OS 9. Now i like this OS but is quite restricted in todays usage. Might put 10.4.11 on it.

Recommendations on what i could do with ??

Im thinking i might GUT the G3 tower and then reconstruct the inside of it to accommodate a Mac Mini or 2 ?? LOL

Now i am modding my 4Runner im looking for other stuff to Mod. This is fun

Cheers

One PC, three Mac's.

The PC runs Windows 7, and may soon be replaced.

Ha ha...I'm not sure I should admit to how many Mac's I currently own. I will say that the "acquisition process" has definitely slowed down lately...and I've even passed up some decent deals.

- Nick

1 MBP (mine)
2 VAIO PCG-V505 laptop (mine & wife)
3 Gateway 400SD4 laptops (all bought broken off of ebay-1 for parts and 2 now fixed)
1 Dell Latitude D800 laptop (bought broken now fixed)
3 Win7 desktop computers (1 has a virus, 1 is on it's last leg and 1 I use mainly with my SCSI drives for music)
+6 external SCSI drives (2 Zips, 1 Jaz, 2 card readers and 1 9GB HD)

I didn't realize how many computers I got until I listed them. Time to spring clean!

HAHA last i remember was 25+. But i thought there was another dedicated thread but for the life of me i cant find it.

So what has slowed down the process of acquisition for you ?? And im sure if they where really decent deal you would of got them ?? No ?? Im hopeless if its to good a deal i cant pass it up. Hmmm wondering if that is why im separated now lol

@JUKE mate you have one big stable there. More from the dark side ;P but we wont hold that against you . . . .
Looks like you like the broken ones to revive them to be working again. Do you use all of them or are they collecting dust ??

Cheers

Honestly I had to blow the dust off of the Windows laptops to get the model numbers off of them. lol
The MBP,VAIO and the one desktop (with Adaptec SCSI card) are the only computers I use mainly for my music.

I don't know if I've ever "come clean" in a thread how many I have (I probably have...I just don't remember). The info used to be part of my profile/avatar (maybe you remember seeing it there)...but then I removed it...and just listed my most used Macintosh specs.

What slowed things was:

- wife getting a bit "peeved" (but not really so much since I try to keep everything confined to one room). I even built some custom heavy-duty shelving to keep things organized better.
- being a little more "picky" about what I buy. Fewer "doubles" of models I already have. Sure I could buy more "doubles" for parts...but you got to draw the line somewhere.
- saving a little cash here & there...to buy other computer stuff...like a Magic Trackpad, bluetooth Apple keyboard, software such as Parallels, and helping to finance the 2009 Mac Pro I got recently.
- lastly...a lot of folks selling used Mac's on my local Craig's List are being just insane regarding their asking prices. Even if I negotiate them down 50% off their asking price...that price is still probably 2x too much!

I've even had the will-power to pass on deals for only $10-$15 bucks!
