Within your household, how many computers?

[Kaido]

Just pruned out for upgrades...

Currently:

1 computer (kitchen)
2 iPhones (his & hers)
2 Rokus (living room & exercise machine)
1 wireless router (and like 5 switches because I'm too lazy to run the wires properly haha)

Upcoming:

PFsense router (Haswell)
Workstation (Haswell)
HTPC (Intel NUC or Gaming rig w/ Xbox 360 wireless controllers for Plex, Steam, & Hyperspin)
Chromebook (for the house floater)

[rudeguy]

3 desktops
1 laptop
3 smart phones
1 or 2 tablets? (Haven't seen either one in a while. lil rudeguy is probably using them to torrent porn)

I have another desktop I don't even have plugged in and am building a new gaming rig for lil rudeguy. Pretty sure I'm going to set up a file server but I need to learn how first.

 

[nickbits]

1 Desktop
1 Server (File & HTPC server)
3 HTPCs
2 Laptops (1 Windows-wife/1 MBP-Work)
1 iMac-Work
2 Smartphones (1 wife)

 

[Noo]

4 XBMC HTPCS (kitchen, livingroom, media room, bedroom)
2 desktops (one OSX86 one Windows 7)
1 HD Wii (a 2500K rig set to be a Wii emulator)
3 other project systems (so like Pentium 4/X2 era)
4 laptops and netbooks
2 mediaservers (like 40tb between them)
4 tablets (Nook Color, iPad 2, TF201 and Nexus 7 2013)
2 smartphones (S4, i5)
1 router
1 network printer

What the heck, that's a lot of home theater pc and servers. Why don't you consolidate them all and have one main hub?

Just wondering within your household: how many deskops, laptops, iphones, ipads, printers, and routers do you have in service (as in not sitting in your closet collecting dust) and why so many?

- 9 desktops
- 18 laptops
- 4 iphones
- 8 ipads
- 9 tablets
- 5 printers
- 2 routers

 

[Noo]

Why do people have more than 1 htpc? You mean to tell me you have more than 1 big screen tv with 5.1 surround sound connected? Now that's rich

I only have 1 htpc and its in the basement with a 5.1 surround sound setup. All of the other pcs are for gaming and guests.

[poofyhairguy]

da heck do you need a roommate?? I can cook! :awe:

No, I am married and she is a great cook so no vacancy. Honestly a lot of my media setup is for her.

Oh, and my desktop Hackintosh is based on one of your designs. So thanks!

What the heck, that's a lot of home theater pc and servers. Why don't you consolidate them all and have one main hub?

Well, each TV in the house has a HTPC. I can't consolidate those as I want it so that they can each play something different simultaneously. MySQL manages them all so I get synergy (like stop a movie in one room, finish it in another).

Another issue is that I throw different levels of power at different TVs. My 65 inch plasma? Gets the Micro ATX i3 GT430 HTPC that can do Aeon Nox at 60fps. The kitchen TV? Small fusion Micro ATX rig that can just barely play everything and run a basic skin but you can't see it on my fridge.

In regards to my servers, well one is for TV and one is for movies with my critical files on both. I really don't want to consolidate those because when I have downtime on a server my wife still has something to watch. Plus that would be a crazy rig that I can't afford. The media servers were built up over time via Unraid expansion, one Newegg hard drive deal after another over years.

[Red Squirrel]

3 desktops: main, spare/misc, and htpc
3 servers: main, environmental control, and storage (not turned up yet)
1 firewall running pfsense: guess this is borderline to being a server
1 24 port gigabit managed switch
1 smart phone
1 tablet that I never use (it's a Playbook, basically a paperweight, wifi on that thing sucks and there's not much apps for it)
1 Unifi Access point

Also got an Actiontec router connected to my fibre ONT, if that counts, it's CPE stuff. Apparantly there are ways to get rid of the Actiontec and plug the ONT straight to pfsense though. I still have to look into it.

My server room: (currently doing work on it)
