Not counting the classic pc's that I have for sale, I own 5 classic desktop pc's (of which 4 are ready to use and always connected, the other one is a project that's almost ready) and I have ca. 5-6 classic laptops (all Toshiba except for one Fujitsu). Specifications range from a Pentium MMX 200 MHz to a Pentium III 1.0 GHz.

I live in a house, but I need to get a high paying job in the future and install an add-on to my house that'll be my computer lab with A/C and heat for my rabbits as well. Of course, the add-on will have copper wiring and I might get the whole house rewired to copper (my basement and laundry room have copper wiring).

Does a C64 count? I guess so 😀

So, the complete builds in cases and whatnot:

1. C64 (old or new, I have both) on Samsung 214T via s-video, 1541 and Oceanic drives, some fastloader cartridge, and X1541 for file transfer.

A system I didn't have in its time. I had a Z80-based Eastern Bloc micro instead (called a Videoton TVC). But there are great demos and great community around C64 so I longed to have one. Now I have like three. And a half. And one that's not mine.

2. Octek Fox II + Harris 80286-20; 4MB SIMM RAM; CL-GD5402 ISA VGA; GUS 2.4 + ESS 688; Quantum Trilblazer 840 HDD (504M used), 3.5+5.25" FDDs, in a neat black mini tower.

Because I needed a PC that's not even 32-bit. I don't know why but I did.

3. Abit AB-PB4 + Am5x86-133@160; 32MB FPM RAM; S3 Virge/DX VGA; Primax GUS clone + SB16/CT2290; 6.4GiB HDD; one dual 3.5/5.25" FDD, highly impractical for this particular build as I don't have the front covers for the yellowed full plastic case.

The nostalgy is strong here, I used to have an Am5x86 with an ALI PCI board. Now I have it again. Very good for not too modern DOS demos, even true color if one's, let's say, careful. Makes a good bridge machine to copy C64 stuff (via X1541) too as both the sound cards and the LPT port seems to work.

4. MSI 694T Pro + P3S-1.4@1.5 + 512MB PC133@143/cl2. Asus AGP-V3000 (Riva 128) VGA, GUS 3.74, SBLive!+LiveDrive, 20GB HDD, still two FDDs and a DVD-ROM.

Was my first permanent build. Made it strong enough for the latest DOS demos and games. Yet I wouldn't call Blood in 1600x1200 particularly playable on this one. Otherwise it's fine and serves as a backup for the older retro machines too. I also want to venture into win98 territory with this one.

5. Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 + Phenom II X2 555BE @ 4 cores + 12GiB DDR3-1333; Radeon 5870 VGA; onboard sound. 500GB HDD, may be replaced or backed by an SSD later. Or completely rebuilt around a 400GB SAS SSD I accidentally have.

I built this to have a semi modern gaming PC for the strongest VGA I've ever found. And because even the existence of a "dual core" CPU with 2 more unlockable cores fascinated me. It's quite power hungry so I don't really use it outside heating season. It runs games... fine, except that I'm always trying to run too modern ones on it, because I have no stronger VGA around.

And I have another empty AT case for something I haven't decided yet. Maybe a K6-2. Maybe a 486SLC. I'm absolutely unsure.

Shame on us, doomed from the start
May God have mercy on our dirty little hearts

That's tough to answer, since they all get used from time to time. If you mean REGULARLY, then the 2008 Dell Vostro 230 and the 2015 Skylake Gaming Rig get used primarily and the Xeon Ubuntu server sits in the back of the room and is on 24/7.

The Pentium 3 rig is my primary retro gaming system for Win9x and DOS games because it covers both DirectX 7 and GLIDE via the Voodoo2 SLI and the TNT2 cards in the same system. The P54c system was just me using spare parts lying around and having fun tweaking DOS 7 configurations. It has a Voodoo1 so it can game and Tomb Raider 1 runs GREAT on it, but otherwise, there's no REAL reason to have it other than to mess around on it from time to time for nostalgia. The Athlon XP system sits on the side and does nothing unless I can get my hands on a working Radeon 9800 Pro/XT, which are stupid expensive on the used market. I've hooked up my 2010 i7-860 gaming rig a few times when a friend comes over to do LAN gaming, but it usually sits in the corner too. It's my custom water cooling system - so it's sort of a work in progress. It's also the last time I messed with SLI as it has two Fermi GTX 480s and the Big Bang Trinergy cost me $350 back in 2010 in order to get me dual-16x PCIe 2.0 slots simultaneously (in order to prevent bottlenecking the Fermi cards from 8x limits). I have never paid even half that for any motherboard since.

My Dell XPS laptop gets brought out from time to time to play era-correct games, such as Final Fantasy 11 (see my handle) and F.E.A.R. 1 (which refuses to run on either of my two Windows 10 gaming rigs).

Yes, that is the real question 🤣

At the moment I don't use any. This moment is going on for a few years now. I just test them and get to play with the hardware, do some benchmarks and that's it 😊 Nowadays I don't even have the time to test and sell the parts I don't need or have duplicates... 😢

Requests are also possible... /msg kixs

I have an IBM PS/1 TYPE 2121.

It came with a 386SX chip, 2 Mb of Ram and a 42 Mb hard drive.

Over the years I've upgraded it to a 486SX with a Cyrix chip, 6 Mb of memory and various hard drives. I also bought an adapter unit with 3 ISA slots and the 5.25" floppy drive unit.

I also managed to find the elusive Audio card.

It came with IBM PC DOS 4 and Windows 3.0

I currently own four retro pc's and I'm about to receive another one from a friend (which I've previously upgraded for him).

1. Pentium III-S 1.4GHz, Gigabyte GA-6VTXE, 2x256MB SDRAM-133, Chaintech GeForce 2Ti 32MB or Albatron FX 5900XTV 128MB, Creative Audio PCI CT4810, C-Media CMI8738, OS: Win98SE

2. Pentium III 800MHz, MSI MS-6178, 256MB SDRAM, 3DFX Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, Soundblaster Live! 5.1 (need to replace this as it stopped working 🙁 ), OS: WinME

I have the seven systems in my signature, and 5 other OEMs of various brands and eras, but they are all packed away in storage. In addition, I am currently in the process of building a DOS/Windows/OS2 daily driver that I can actually keep inside the house, though I can't really decide on what to build (DX4-100 PCI/VLB vs 233MMX vs PII-350).

I have 14 mounted towers and 10 ""working"" laptops. But I could probably increase that number by mounting other computers with all the parts I have, and also fix some dead laptops I have. There are also two pentium 2 towers I didn't count for some reason (one I plan to sell)

Probably 20-25 systems, mostly in "storage." And parts.

As for use, this computer is "modern" from 2010. The laptop, well, that was modern but now it's so old, well, it's from 2002. Compaq Presario 905. Recently I went to an estate sale and collected a P100, got it going and that's the only one connected because believe you me I don't have a place to set up 20 computers. That makes 3.

Or 2 1/2 since I really don't have time for this stuff and haven't turned the old one on in like two weeks.

I used to use the laptop for everything, including YouTube, but now they've degraded their website so badly it's no longer practical. Plus the higher resolution video is no-go. So it's mostly a web browsing-file downloading thing.

Other recent turn ons include my 2003 build Athlon 64, but that's not really "vintage" and TBH I could probably technically use it as a primary computer if I wanted to; it's fast enough and just about does it. Was happy to recently see its Epson 5.25" working again; those things are so touchy I can't believe.

Oldest I think is a 5150 from 86. Few Apples (I was enjoying that for a while). Got an XT, a 286, a 386, a few 486s and a bunch of Pentiums.

Console 7: Microsoft Xbox 360 (Falcon)

Console 8: Nintendo Wii

Console 9: Microsoft Xbox 360 (Zephyr)

Console 10: Microsoft Xbox One

Console 11: thumbsUp! OR-MINITVGAME, Model 8039 (NES Clone)

Console 12: E-Mods Gaming RS-1 (Handheld NES clone, with TV output)

Console 13: Sony PlayStation

Console 14: Sony PlayStation 2

Console 15: Microsoft Xbox

Now to answer how many PCs I actively use day-to-day, that answer still sits at around 10 active systems.

Of my retro builds, only my 8088 PC & Thin Client 1 are actively connected up at present, all the rest of my old/retro systems are pulled out of storage as and when I wish to mess around with them.

I've got many systems worth of parts but only have three "built" PCs.

- 1x Commodore 64, using the Reloaded MK2 motherboard (and I've got all sorts of chips from different systems: pal nmos/hmos, ntsc nmos/hmos, 6581, 8580, etc etc to drop in there)
- 2x Athlon XP machines (for some local multiplayer stuff and running games "on real hardware" as opposed to Dosbox)
