I used to be a big fan of lots of computers, but I've gone toward = another excess -> Lots of monitors plugged to one powerful machine! I have: - Main development: Dual Athlon 2.5 / SCSI raid drives / Triple 21" = monitors hooked up to a Matrox Parhelia. (Best $500 I ever spent on a video card!) - 2nd computer: Athlon 2.5 - 3rd computer: Dell 8000 laptop Anything more than three, and you constantly waste time maintaining = them! Far better to have *everything* on one powerful machine!
