I currently have 3 computers in my room. 2 of them are dells that I got for free/50$. and one i built in late November. But the question arises, how many is too many?
 
well, scientifically speaking, studies show that more than 6.79 computers are too many. Please note that this a round estimate. It comes down to what type of computers they are. the chart breaks down as follows:

a gaming computer = 3 reg. comps
a server comp = 4 reg. comps
a laptop = .5 reg. comps
pocket pc = 2 reg. comps.
iphone = .79 reg. comps
a general use comp = 1 reg comp

this is stating that u can have 12 laptops and an iphone and that would be ok w/ the limit of the amount of comps a single being should have. So considering that u have 3 comps, i would assume they are below the 6.79 MAXIMUM amount of comps u may have.

EDIT: im just playin dude. I spent way to muhch time on that reply for it turn into a bad joke. Basically once u only start using an X amount of comps. Anything beside the X amount is not needed.
 
i dont see why you would have so much computers in a room atm i have 2 pcs but have my own one and another just set up randomly that im fixing for my mate so yee i get these realy annoying sounds having both pcs on. and gee it heats da room up with da door closed
 
bragging thread?
sorry if im being rude but i think why the h*ll would there be a problem even if you had 10 comps you can only be on one at a time...
@vizy: nice job mate
 
I'm using 4 PC's at once right now, and I'm logged into 2 others...

I'm on a desktop, getting media from a headless server box while accessing the net through the smoothwall router box, and I just sent a print job off to the printer box which spools pint jobs for the printer.

Old PC's come in handy for the little jobs around the house, like the print sever, router, server, tho with the high availability of old PC's I tend to have PIII's even on the print spooler and router box these days. The print server used to be a p166 untill recently, but the really old PC's are dying off. The 'oldest' PC now is the dual P2-450 server box.

I'm also logged into the wife's PC getting some docs and doing some admin, plus there is a test machine I am working on via ssh...

So, easy enough to use more than one PC :)

But my comment was more about the total number of PC's laying around the house in various running and mostly non-running condition. They do seem to collect and I honestly don't know how many PC's there would be... I even have some 8088 bits laying around... (and z80 etc...)
 
shoot my office has 2pc 2 laptop and 3 laptops when i have my work laptop on and depending on my home business of repair sometimes i will have 4 or mroe pc's on at once so in my mind never can have to many!
 
I never thought it mattered. I don't have to worry about having too many though, according to the estimates, I only have .5 regular computers in my room.
