11 are on more often than not.

Always On: Mandrake - firewall
Always On: OpenBSD - My server in Florida. It has DNS, E-Mail, Web, and other things I'm mucking with including my wife's Mosaic forums.
Always On: OpenBSD - Mirror of Florida server. Backs up /etc, /var, /home from Florida
On 50%: Windows XP - my main system.
On 25%: Windows 98 SE for older games (playing Carmagedden Smilie )
On 50% and personal travel: Mac Powerbook G4
On 75%: Toshiba laptop - Wife's
On 100%: Dell D610 - Work laptop. On here at work and since I'm on call 50% of the time, I just dock it at home in case I'm needed.
On 25%: Two Sun Ultras and Sun Enterprise 250 for mucking with Solaris stuff.

The Suns are the ones least on. The E250 is most likely to be on but sometimes I'm doing something Sun to Sun and all three boxes need to be up.

The light display is pretty cool though. I'll have to get a pic if possible.

2 Macbooks (One for the wife, one for me)
1 eee PC 900 (Ubuntu eee)
1 Mac mini (HTPC)
1 IBM PC 850 (PPC with AIX 4.3.3ML11)
2 SparcStation 20 (NetBSD and OpenStep)
1 Thinkpad T40 (Testbed, runs OpenBSD right now but I change OS often on it)

I'm setting up a xSeries 335 as an ESXi server where I'll run Windows 2003 R2 and Ubuntu Server but it's not quite there yet.

Jeez. Seeing it spelled out like this made me realize that maybe I should cut down on number of machines.

Added a new computer to the mix. Picked up a gaming system (well built it). E8500, ATI 4870 and ATI 9250 Video Cards, 2.25TB of disk. Very fast system for gaming Smilie

My wife's Toshiba bit the dust last week so she's upgrading her laptop.
