Computers - laptops, desktops, macbook, etc. No phones please.
 
I have 3 computers in my household. You can probably say there four computers in my household, but the one laptop is for my dad's work only. So that means the fourth computer isn't really ours.

I have a HP Desktop that is quite powerful. Windows XP. 500 GB of memory.
My dad has a Gateway laptop that is very old and very slow, but it still works well with XP. I have no idea how powerful it is, but it's pretty weak.
My personal HP laptop serves it's purpose even though it's not the best computer on the planet. Windows Vista. 160 GB of memory. Runs as fast as the Desktop.
 
Dad's work laptop. Know nothing about it, but he uses it and he has it.
 
When and if my father's Gateway laptop gives up the ghost, then he might get me a more powerful laptop, and he'll take mine. No rush though as times are still tough.
 
I just realized that I accidentally duplicated this topic that was started in August 2009. Hopefully ya'll are up for a fresh start.

About 16 or so computers. Most of them are really old though. My dad just likes to keep the old stuff.

Does your dad work on old computers or something? Use them for parts?

I have a crapload of computers up and running at home. 
 
A Mac Pro, my workhorse computer which also serves as a gaming rig. 
A Mac Mini, which probably will end up at work as an OS X Server. 
A MacBook, which I use both at work and for some stuff at home. 
An iMac, which is used as a guestcomputer. 
A Pegasos II, running Amiga OS 4.1 
An Amiga 1200, just for pure retro gaming. 
A C64, same as above. 
A crappy custom-built PC, acting as a server for a forum. 
Another one like the one above, used for gaming. 
 
...and that's not counting the consoles I have either. ;)

Dropped it. I don't know enough about the hardware to fix it myself and it's simply not worth it to get it repaired. It's a cheap little thing that I got for free when I signed with my internet provider.

We use one computer for the shop to run a basic program (that he wrote himself) so it doesn't need to be high spec. So we just use that PC using parts from other PC. Doesn't explain why he bought 20 old modems one day though...

Is it one of those computers that doesn't have a disc drive to play CDs or movies or games? I've seen those before and they aren't much. Kinda see why you dropped it. =-P Lol. Easy come easy go.

@Tireyo643: Maybe...I asked him about it once and he replied "They're gonna be worth MILLIONS in the future!"
 
I don't know what he hopes to achieve but I'm sure we'll find out in due time. On the other hand, he is getting pretty old and senile at this stage.

Ugh, too many. Most of which are broken. Don't think I can name how many there are in my house.

One of them is really old and used for little but browsing the net and playing Age of Empires 2, and one is a laptop. The three others are for gaming.
