How many computers do you own?

I see that's great you should probably make a second one, I think it's great in case one of them should falter you'll have the other ready! Do you have the extra cpu? Just curious you didn't mention it and it is a vital part of it.

Cool well if you need help buying one or picking one rather .. let me know I'll help you pick the right one for your needs and budget.

no sweetie, i have to get it when i get a new mobo

that's a good point about Christmas savings, I never think about it. Hopefully if i get a new computer or laptop at the end of the year I can get some savings too. Good luck getting your new laptop and upgrading your computer.

you are welcome my friend :)

thanks! =D

Two are sitting under my desk at the moment sharing three monitors 1 gets used for graphics, document scanning and is my fax server and the occasional web surfing when I need multiple windows open, the other gets everything else. My wife has a desktop, but only uses it as a back up and music server in her office, we each have a laptop, I have one in the garage set to play music there or outside on the deck, another music center in the bedroom. In the next year or so I will probably add another for my son somewhere centrally where I can see it but will keep him off mine.

Wow what do you do with all of those computers? Do you work with them? Do you sell them? Why only using 8 at the moment?

Cool are those old ones in the store yours? or customers? thanks for dropping a line.

Mostly are customers - well most of those in the store are my relatives' who are also my customers, haha. They don't need them anymore so they kinda like gave it to me. So I can sell the parts off as well ;) People here still do look for old parts like RAM & also CPUs plus I also auction them off on eBay.

Cool I bet the family is jealous when they fight over who uses the pc and see you on the laptop lol. Thank you for responding.

Not really. My Dad doesn't use it. My Mam uses it during the day. My sister uses it at night. So they all take turns really.

wireless is the way to go! I'm cnnected through wi-fi thoughh. are you?

Cool, I agree wireless is probably best tho I am still using wires. I don't trust security on wireless as I have seen even people I know go steal other peoples bandwidth. I actually have my pc's set up so we can watch television while using them, I get bored just using the computer unless I am playing a game. Thank you for responding.

I hope that one computer serves all your needs, if it does one is all people really need for most things. Thank you for responding.

Cool, what do you do with them?

Cool, but with the two laptops do you ever use the desktop? thanks for responding.

Oh boy fighting for computer time been there, done that. I hope I never have to again, But if they go down I might have to.

is the one computer that is down fixable? If it is you should get it fixed or fix it yourself if you can.

Cool, do you have an ISP? or are you just picking up a signal from a neighbor or something? wi-fi sounds cool but for now I'll stick with the wires maybe I'll change my mind when I get me a laptop. Thanks for responding.

Cool thank you for responding. Fixing pc's at home eh? I hope they are paying you good for it lol

Good stuff I hope you keep Pwning them noobs. hehe .. Good luck with the new build and thanks for your response.

So I take it there is not a chance your family could go a week with no computer eh? Sound to me like at least they are all being used out of my 3 2 are always used and the last is hardly ever used. Thanks for responding.

Yeah 4 years old if it was up to date at the time is not so bad, tho probably still on the way out. I would definitely get another one when that becomes possible to do so. Buy it piece by piece if you have to, the prices are all dropping so I doubt you would have to buy second hand. Good luck thanks for responding.

Yeah that certainly is a lot, I don't know what I would do with 5-7 computers. But I have 3 at the moment and I am planning on getting 2 more in the next year or two. Basically to stay up to date with the market as two of my computers are old and not upgradeable. I love gadgets too I wish I could afford more of them lol.

Wow I haven't had a P3 in years none of my pc's before P4 lasted that long. I don't even think I could use anything less than a P4 with at least 2gb of ram at 1.6ghz. Anything less I think I'd pull out all my hair. So how about you do you use that P3 at all? or is it just in case your P4 goes down you have the other to use?

I see, what do you do with those computers for work?

That is a lot of computers, and yes you never know exactly when an old pc can remedy a new ones problems. I use all my old parts if and when that becomes available or unnecessary to do so.

I don't doubt it either the more people in your house the more computers you need if they all want to be on one.
