Presently we have the latest Mac Mini, a 20 inch iMac, a 13 inch Macbook and a SE at home. I included these Macs in the poll as these computers reside in my household.

I also own a 17 inch Mac with screen problems and a Sawtooth G4 chugging along (just fine thank you) on loan to my son, at collage, in Halifax he also owns a 13 inch Macbook.

Scary 6 working Macs belong to this household in total .

I'm one of only 2 people with 10+ Mac's,
Time to get rid of those Beige G3's, G4's and 68k computers.

Power Mac 2.0 ghz G5 Dualie
- One of the first made. My mainstay for years now and still going strong; I will upgrade to a Mac Pro or maybe a top iMac later this year,

iMac 15" 700 mhz
- Still used for old games on occasion (Myst, Riven, the Marathon series, etc),

Power Mac 7200/90
- All wrapped up in its original packaging in the basement. Haven't looked at it in years,

Color Classic
- In its original packaging in the basement but I did take it out for a spin almost exactly a year ago now - it still worked just fine.

I miss Marathon.

My main machine is the 27" iMac in my sig... Also have a Dell mini 10v that has been hackintoshed... It's used exclusively when I travel and even then it's been replaced by the iPad the last few trips I've been on... It actually gets very little use at this point... If I though I could get a decent price for it id sell it but yea I'd be shocked to get more than $100...

I tried a cidered version of Deus Ex but it did not run well.
High hopes for the new sequel but doubt a mac version anytime soon...

Amazing how many games keep getting rewritten but not ones I'd line up to pay for again...

I clicked 10+ as well - as far as I am concerned there are 11 active Macs in the house.
The oldest one still in use is a 450 G4, then a 700 MHz eMac, a G5, 3 13-inch MBP's, 3 15-inch MBP's and 2 Minis, an early 1.42GHz PPC one and a 2009 Intel one.
I didn't count the old bondi blue iMac or the IIsi or the 7300 since none of those are in regular use.
There are six of us in the family, so basically one lap top and one desk top per person.

I counted '3' for the three systems that I have in use on a daily basis:
21.5" iMac running OS X 10.6 - my main desktop system.
Asus Eeepc 1008 10" netbook running my own home-brew version of linux - my portable.
Asus Eeetop computer running Ubuntu - my home server.

If I were to count all the older systems, retired systems, etc. that I'm not using, it'd probably be 10+.
I have a Tandy 102 portable, and the NEC portable that was a clone of the Tandy.
There's a handful of Toshiba Librettos of various generations.
There's a handful of Asus Eeepcs of various generations.
There's a G4 Mac Mini around here somewhere.

And of course the list of not-includeds include both generations of Apple TV, an iPad, a couple iPhones, a few Newtons, a collection of HP Palmtops, a Handspring Visor, a linux VR3, and various other sundry PDAs. Oh and an eMate too!

One of these years I'll open a little museum!

Are we only counting Macs or all computers?
I thought it was only Macs - in my household there is also a Toshiba lap top and two Dell Netbooks.

But...only one relatively small LCD TV, 32 inches, and only one iPod touch and two older iPods.
The TV is off for months at a time.
Talk about a huge shift in the last 10 years of what we use!

I bought my 24 in iMac last year so I could delegate the G4 1.25 to my son. It didn't work out that way.
