How's this for nerdy???
I live in a shoebox apartment - 425sq ft - for you lot back home it's basically a bedsit with everything but a bedroom (i.e. full kitchen, full bathroom etc). You yanks, it's a studio apartment.

I have:

A desktop computer (which I use most)
A laptop (which I use when I'm eating dnner or to remote into work)
A PDA (the HTC Touch Pro)

I can't justify paying an extra $300 a month in rent for a 1 bedroom, as I'm only heome about 4 hours a day when not sleeping. The laptop goes everywhere, and the PDA is great when I'm at work, at the pub, or wherever I need to be mobile.

Edit: And fuck it, I'm about to post my myspaz address in my profile. Whey the fuck not!
I need to get a life......

I have
3 laptops, and about 12 desktops of varying ages and qualities, counting the Apple Macs.

They're mostly being file servers, routers, firewalls and media centre streaming machines, although I have more powerful main ones I use for audio editing and such. Also building a home automation server so I can turn the washing machine, fridge, etc on and off over the internet. Just because I can.

Even in the depths of winter with the windows open it's stiflingly hot because of the amount of electronic gear I have that runs 24/7. Even though I never fly anywhere my carbon footprint is still probably enormous!

You have a long way to go before you hit nerdy :P

I've just booted up
my server. From 1995.

Its loud, its slow, but it works and handles my latest hard-drives so 2TB of pr0n stuff can be utilised!

I also have 4 laptops, and 3 desktops, and a Wii on a projector to finish the geekiness.

Nerdy? Ha.
Try watching Dr Who in the pub on laptop and tv card. With another geek sitting next to you. Wearing headsets, so we could connect with other Dr Who fans, and discuss it live.
That's geeky mate.

Mine's not that old
My home domain controllers (only amateurs use workgroups at home, I have an NT domain. With a backup DC. Yes I am that sad) are Compaq dual PII 866s in huuuge cases that sound like jet engines.

The backup one makes a pretty nice bedside table though ;)

I can do all that on my domain though ;)
Plus about 85000 more features that you probably don't need unless you're running a network for huge company lol. It makes me happy though. LDAP authentication when I'm ere.

*is waiting til he gets a new server, then subscribing to Action Pack and having Server 2008 and Exchange Server at home*

Win! (or maybe not...)
