1 Desktop PC (Multimedia/Gaming)

1 iPod Touch 1G (Not used anymore)
@William pm me too? thanks!
LOL. Actually they started off with a few completely plain jane "el cheapo" PC's.
Obviously now it's not quite so cheap, but if they just had a "few" servers they'd be supercomputers to rival the best the world has. Instead they have thousands of "really cheap" (for the size/load) servers - which as stated are probably more akin to a VPS node than a end-user PC, but nevertheless are cheap.
Point being they could load up on relatively few, extremely expensive 64+ core, 256GB+ ram systems, etc, but instead they go with a LOT of relatively cheap "lower-end" systems that end up costing about the same overall, but are easier and cheaper to service or replace.
2 Gaming Rigs / Workstation
1 Laptop (Dell Studio 1749)
1 EEE PC 701 as NAS/'Server'
2 Old Desktops (One is a P4 and one socket 939.. that's all I remember)
1 Crappy Laptop (HP Pavilion makes_lots_of_noise.. aka The Blazemaster 2000)
1 Broken Laptop (Acer Aspire thingy. Used as donor laptop).
If anyone is interested, here's a view inside my main PC (yes, i know about the dust, thanks)

Just ordered a 3rd GPU
Now that must be really noisy
I've counted 7 fans + 6 HDDs
@William. That are a lot of drives.. How much TB is that?
Also, your CPU cooler.. is it supposed to be a push/pull but without the push fan :P ?
Usually if you only have 1 fan mounted on your CPU heatsink, it's push. By the looks of it, yours is pull.
Yes, but it is rather silent or i am used to it already.
11 fans actually:
Side A 2x120
Side B (under the CPU) 1x120
Top 1x240
CPU 1x120
Front 2x120
FrontHDD 2x120
HDD internal 1x120
PSU 1x120
12TB + 500Gb (System) + 180Gb SSD
Yes, the fan is on the wrong side but i am too lazy to change it (cools to 28°C anyway) and i guess with that amounts of fans it doesn't matter at all.
Main desktop: AMD Athlon X2 (2 x 2,4GHz), 2GB RAM, 200GB (IDE) + 250GB (SATA) disk, Club3D Radeon HD3650 1GB, running openSUSE 12.1
Laptop/netbook: Thinkpad Edge - shitty Intel i3, shitty Intel Integrated Graphics chip, 3GB RAM, ~500GB disk, running (sadly) Fedora, due for a reinstall with openSUSE

Home media server: Pentium 4 3GHz, 768MB RAM, 80GB disk (will soon be more), running Debian 6
... plus about 50 old (486 to Pentium 4) PCs, most of them under 512MB RAM (most have far less), and not that much disk space... I still have to refurbish them.
EDIT: This does not include the several other computers that are in use by others in the house.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Phone
Huawe Ascend G300 Phone
ZTE Crescent Phone
Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Phone
X2 1U Servers, Intel Quad Core, 8GB RAM, Windows Server 2008
i Think thats it
Thats some messy cabling you have there, Brown tape really? That's for packaging... Get some black electrical tape for inside computers. :-)
And about the dust, I just start the generator and get the air pump to clean computer cases out or pretty much anything, Or you can manually take the whole PC apart and clean it.
Yeah I would think to try that, I'd definitely have my setup lan'd up via wires. In fact my older router(pre openwrt firmware upgrade) would drop if I even entertained that idea.
I'll be happy when wireless is better though which sparked a question I been meaning to ask, so thanks.
