DAW is a heavily moded Compaq Presario (2ghz AMD) running demudi linux

webserver is a Compaq ProLiant 6000 (Quad 400mhz) running slackware
backup server is a Compaq Presario 200mhz 24MB RAM running an older slackware
 
Unfortunately, I only own one... for now. I use it for EVERYTHING though. home recording and home theater system... you name it, it does it.

Dell Dimension 8400
Windows XP Media Center OS
Pentium 4 3.00GHz
2.5GB RAM
250GB Hard Drive
Nvidia GeForce 6800 256MB graphics card
Sound Blaster 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Card
5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speakers
19" Flat Panel
DVD Rom
DVD Burner

I had the whole thing custom built through dell. The only upgrade I made to it was throwing in the extra 2GB of memory. :D

Hopefully someday I'll buy a recording-specific PC, but for now, this does the job.
 
4 Dell pc's and one Dell laptop.

Cable AND DSL ISP access. :rolleyes:

All from 1/05 or later.

Four, here. Good thing I don't have a wife or kids!

1. Custom built twin 2.2 GHz Xeons; 1 Gig DDR Ram; 40 Gig system drive; twin 80 Gig project drives in RAID Array; 80 Gig export drive; nine cooling fans (there's more, but I won't bore you with the details) used for video and audio editing.

2. Dell P4 1.6 GHz; 256 Meg Ram; 40 Gig HD; my office desktop.

3. Dell P4 1.6 GHz; 256 Meg Ram; 30 Gig HD; my laptop.

3. Dell P2 450 MHz; 384 Meg Ram; 40 Gig system drive; 14 Gig backup drive; my home computer.

I have NO parts whatsoever (unless you count the zip drive that is disconnected in my home computer so that I could add a CD burner).

When I'm done with a computer, it finds a new home. I can't see keeping them around when I can always find someone in need of a free computer.

Since I posted that... I added another gig of RAM to the custom rig, as well at two 30 Gig Raptors in front-loaded hot-swappable enclosures.

:)
 
Wow talk about a thread coming back to life.

I have:
1. Mac with Pro Tools mix system for tracking.
2. PC AMD rig with Cubase SX3 for mixing duties.
3. P4 in my office @ The studio.
4. old ass Mac 9600 @ home for email and forums. (I need to replace this)
 
Aw, heck, I can -see- four from here. PowerMac quad G5, iBook G3/900, PowerBook Pismo (400 MHz?), and a G4/450 Mhz (graphite).

In the closet to my right are a Power Computing clone of the PM7500, a PowerMac G4/533 (graphite, serving www.gatwood.net), a Pentium 90 (firewall running Linux), a Pentium 75 (turned off), and an Athlon... 1800XP, maybe... I forget... also turned off.

Elsewhere in storage are a couple of PowerMac 6100s, a couple of 7100s, a couple of Quadras, a couple of old HP workstations (the PA-RISC variety, not the x86 variety), a disassembled PowerBook 145 with a blown MOSFET (used for voltage regulation for the internal SCSI drive), and a dead PC laptop that someone was throwing out.

I'm sure I have some other old crap lying around, but I'm not sure quite what off the top of my head.... :D
 
I have about 4 desktops, 4 laptops and I just ordered a new Core 2 Duo system to be my new audio recording system. I dont use them all. Most of them are outdated and even though I paid like $2,600 for some of them I couldnt even get 50 dollars for em now. So instead of parting with them I just leave them there to collect dust.
 
8 computers on my home network. 3 Laptops, and 5 desktops.
 
1 - Q6600/8gigs RAM DAW machine
2 - Athlon 2600XP notebook for field recording
3 - Celeron 600 mhz for backup server w/ 2 TB storage
 
I have 4 macs, and 2 PCs (that sit in my closet and do nothing).

Oh yea?! Well, I have 1 PC and 322 macs (that sit in my closet because they can't equal the superior power of the PC, even combined. Not to mention they explode randomly. And cuss me out for no reason.)

:p:p
