Running in the house?  At least three and usually four around the clock:
486 Linux firewall, my desktop, wife's desktop, and usually my docked
laptop.  SS2 and SS20 sporadically as I haven't had the time to get them
set up properly (back you vultures!).  The Wintel boxen have power
saving enabled, but they still warm my office nicely.
