In my office/laser building area I have:
7.2 surround sound that every component is hooked up to.
90 degrees to left laptop, 60 degrees to left laptop
Main desktop
45 deg to left small tv
Center is 25" monitor
45 deg to right tv
60 degrees to right portable small digital TV
90 degrees to right netbook
2 blu-ray players
Phone Galaxy Note 4 with 32Gig in and 128gig card (completely full of movies), a tablet and reader.

There are a bunch of other things that I specifically am not using that are my sons and wife such as computers, netbook, laptops, tablets, gaming systems...

Rest of house many more things including a vast amount of home theatre and stereo equipment including 7 blu ray players. Just like lasers I used to be way into that stuff and I tend to go overboard so it's not good for me to have more than 1 hobby (if any) at a time. My main home theater system has a massive amount of equipment as I one day decided I would just keep adding stuff to see if I could make it all work together (stereo and commercial type amps) with no background hum and enough power and speakers to make it very difficult to stay in the room when I demo it. Haven't changed the system in a couple years now but I have enough equipment not being used to practically double what's already hooked up. It's all pretty nuts considering I haven't even turned that system on in many months. No need to feel sorry for me lol

I have 2 in every room.

It's good to have a backup machine that never goes online on each desk, not even for updates because they work well if they never get connected to the web, just used for storage of already security scanned media and pics and stuff.

I don't need the add companies spyware counting how often I look at my personal pics or whatever I want private, anything on a plugged in machine is an open book, we have no real privacy online.

I have tinnitus, 'ringing in my ears' and I recorded some rain sounds and shower sounds of my own, well I go to play my personal recordings now that I have win 10 and there is a dam advertisement attached to my personal stuff, I'm sick of it.

I have a couple old laptops running win 7 that will never go online, even the wifi is disabled and I may physically remove the internal antennas...until they make what we can do with our own pc's illegal, btw deleting your history can be a crime.

So... what do you guys use them for? My main PC is for gaming/general use, one laptop acts mostly as a media pc/backup, another for work if traveling.

At work I have two PC's because one has a number of digital certificates installed on it, the second is general purpose.

Bitcoin mining? :p
