Up and running and used every day:
1. Custom Pentium D (yes, netburst) 3.6GHz, 4gb DDR2, R9 280X, Win7 64bit (gaming and office duties)
2. Thinkpad X32 Pentium M 1.8GHz, 2gb ram, 16mb Radeon Mobile, WinXP (office, travel, and 32bit stuff)
3. Custom Core2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz, 4gb DDR3, Radeon HD7770, Ubuntu 12.04 64bit (home theater!)
4. HP Core2 Duo E8500 3.1GHz, 4gb DDR3, integrated grfx, Win7 (wife's art studio)

Hooked up and used periodically:
1. Compaq Prolinea 4/33, 32mb ram, Tseng ET4000, Dos 6/WfWg 3.11 (have owned since brand new)
2. Custom AMD x5 133, 64mb ram, S3 Virge/Voodoo1, Win98SE/DOS (current project)

Tucked away but ready to go anytime:
1. Custom 386dx40/387dx40, 32mb ram, 2mb Mach64, Win95/DOS (my favorite system)
2. Custom P4 3.4GHz, 1.5gb ddr, Radeon 9800pro, WinXP (my previous daily driver)

Upcoming build: Super 7 system

Systems I regret getting rid of: too many including a PC, XT, 286 portable, Super7, Tualatin 🙁

Pentium D and an R9 280X? Haha, pretty awesome. What games you play on it? :p

Ya, I get that it's kind of a funny pairing with the video card having almost as much memory as the system. Right now I'm playing thru Sniper Elite III at 1680x1050 with decent quality settings and it runs pretty smooth (benchmark averaged 60fps peaked at 125). I also use the 280X for seti@home crunching as it can crunch work units with barely any CPU overhead.

Blech waste of graphics.

Why is the weak processor your main system while the stronger processor is a home theater?

Everyday use box is a Pentium D 930, 2 Gb Ram, 320 HD(sata) and BFG Geforce 7900 GT/OC.
Bittorrent/storage machine is a Celeron E1400, 1 Gb RAM, 1 terabyte 2.5in SATA in a tiny powercool case.
Media player box plugged into TV via HDMI is a Pentium 4 630, 2 Gb RAM, 80 GB HD, Geforce 210 512mb video.

Random other boxes.

None, currently.
I have a bunch of x86-based machines, including 8088s, 486es, Pentiums, Pentium Pro, PII, Athlons, P4/D, Core2 Duo and Core i7...
The only thing that should be truly PC-compatible is my IBM 5160 (aside from the lacking tape interface). However, I currently have an ATi Small Wonder videocard in it, rather than a real IBM card, and it is not 100% compatible. It seems to insert some extra waitstates.
Once I have it replaced with an original IBM CGA, the 5160 should be 99.999% compatible with the IBM PC 5150.
I wonder what my other 8088-machines will do with that real CGA card.

Well, I have the real IBM CGA card now, so my IBM 5160 should now be pretty much 100% compatible to the original IBM PC 5150 (save for the missing cassette interface).
As expected, the IBM CGA card is faster than the ATi Small Wonder.
I have yet to test the real IBM CGA card in my Philips P3105 and Commodore PC20-III 8088-based XT clones.
Will do that in April I suppose. I'll keep you posted 😀
