Listed by performance:
PowerBook G4/550
Power Macintosh G4/500
iBook G3/500
20th Anniversary Macintosh G3/500
Power Macintosh 7600 604e/132
PowerBook 1400cs 603/117
Macintosh Performa 5200 603/75
Power Macintosh 7100 601/66
Macintosh IIci 68030/25
Macintosh Quadra 700 68040/25
 
Currently in my home (by name):

  • Euclid: iMac - Mac OS X v10.2.x
    Milnor: PowerBook G3 - Mac OS X v10.2.x
    Fermi: Power Macintosh 7100 (G3/266) - Mac OS 8.6
    HAL 9000: Quadra 950 (PPC601/66) - Mac OS 8.1
    SAL 9000: Quadra 900 - Mac OS 8.1
    Bonnet: Quadra 700 - A/UX 3.0.1
    Doyle: PowerBook Duo 280 - Mac OS 8.1
    n/a: Macintosh IIcx - System 7.1
    Feynman: IBM ThinkPad 760ED - Rhapsody 5.1
    Riemann: DEC Celebris XL5166 - Rhapsody 5.1
    Gauss: SGI Indy - Irix 6.2
    Euler: SGI IRIS Indigo - Irix 5.3
    Morse: SGI IRIS Indigo - Irix 5.3
    Archimedes: Sun SPARCclassic - Solaris 7
    n/a: Sun SPARCclassic - n/a
    n/a: DEC Venturis FX - OPENSTEP 4.2
    n/a: Apple IIe - n/a
If a system doesn't have a name, it is most likely not on my network and not running currently.

Of these systems, Euclid, Milnor, Fermi, Riemann and Gauss are on pretty much 24/7 (Feynman is Milnor's backup and is used at least once a week). Riemann is the current uptime champion at 126 days, 11+ hours (it is shooting for the record of just over 280+ days set by Archimedes back in 2001).

Cube 450 10.3
iBook 800 10.3
iBook 500 10.2.8
PM 6100/60 8.something as I remember. Saved from the scrap heap
SE/30 A/UX and System 6
Quadra 660 Think it's 8.0? Also saved from the bin.

These all work. In Daily use is the G5, iBook 800 and the Cube.

Then there's others like Amigas, Archimedes, a Sparc, a BBC Master, a Spectrum 48k and a few other 80/90's home computers.
 
At my house, when I'm there we have:

Pentium 4 2.8GHz
Pentium 4 1.8GHz
Pentium 4 2GHz
Powerbook G4 (867MHz) (mine)
 
4 Macs (well, 3 if you only count the ones I use) and 3 PCs (1 if you only count the ones I use, 0 if the server doesn't count :D)

12" PowerBook 1Ghz - My Main System - it's practically attached to me. :)

Dual G4 533mhz "Digital Audio" - Soon to be my "Base station" at the office (plug everything to it that is) - File server/backup server, render station, Scan station, Print Center, etc. :)

G3 Desktop - coming home as a backup Mac and a general house use Mac (in Spanish, heh).

Performa 550 - FREE to good home! Runs!

===

1Ghz Athlon - Minimal Resources, just enough for Windows Tech Support (yeah, unfortunatly I have to do that too), The Sims and Sim City 4 :D (wish I got SC4 for Mac! Doh!)

800 Mhz Duron - Frankenstein is dead! Other than stealing the RAM and HDD, no idea what will become of this freak. :p

800 Mhz Duron made into a 2U Rack-Mount - Domain Server (does this count? :D)
 
Ok, I can post a second time, ha! Anyway, still at 2 Macs currently, but I've upgraded. Sold the IceBook and have a G4 1Ghz IceBook on order (one week and I great deal through my company's computer distributor). And I have a 20-gig iPod now (10 went to the significant other). Oh, and a kicking Nokia 6600 which syncs quite well, thank you.

I did see a 20th anniversary Mac at one of the Apple dealers here a few days ago, but sadly it wasn't for sale.
 
Wow where does everyone get money to own all these macs? :) I'm a poor college student so I've been saving forever for my new 15" AluBook. Best investment ever.

I rarely (if ever) buy new systems. Computers (like cars) lose there value once you start using them. You could have saved money buying a slightly used PowerBook instead of a brand new one and spent that money on apps... or food!

I work on Macs for a living and couldn't afford a new 15" PowerBook (and I get a discount too).

Nah I got a student developer discount. Most used powerbooks were the same price or more than my 1.25 w/ SD with the discount. Also I had a powerbook in the past and got rid of it because of all the problems.. paint chipping, too hot, keyboard breaking, ect ect. Wasn't going to get a product that I knew had defects just to save $100 at the most. In fact, I got a brand new AluBook for less than I could have gotten a refurb one from the Apple store and it was all old technology.
 
You know I have a PM G4 that was bought in the summer of 2000, before the Summer 2000 release. In the meantime, I bought 4 Wintel PCs (including two notebooks) and now I pretty much use the PowerMac for everything. If others are like me than the Mac Marketshare is a lot larger than the sales figures tell.
 
I had the iBook when this thread started... now it has a new owner, and I have a PowerBook. There was also an iMac in the house, not mine, and .. idem now. So now there is a G5 .. but I still feel I should answer "one" as it's how many _I_ I have and right now. :-/
 
I got my PowerBook and Accessories at Student Discount... wish one of them would have been more memory - but oh well. I'm happy! :)
 
I miscounted and said 6 when I really have 8:

Macintosh 512K
Macintosh Plus
Macintosh LCII
PowerMacintosh 7500/100
PowerMacintosh 7300/200
PowerMacintosh 7300/200
PowerMacintosh G3/300 MiniTower (upgraded to 500 MHz)
iMac DV 400 MHz

All of them are fully functional except one of the 7300/200's (missing a SCSI hard drive).
 
4 macs in use: iMac 700Mhz G3 Special Edition, iMac 1Ghz G4 17", eMac 800Mhz G4, iMac 333Mhz G3

4 not in use: iBook 300Mhz G3, Mac SE, Performa 6400/300, Mac LC

My dad tested the Apple II, before they were available in stores, for a magazine called "Test Aankoop" , you know.. that magazine that is running a case against 4 major Record Companies right now. ("Test Achats")

First mac in house was a 10.000 euro Lisa! But my dad trew it away!!!!! damn.
 
Its like I can't get past beige

I have:
2 Mac Classic II (always meaning to turn one into a fishtank)
2 LC575s (incl. my first Mac)
1 5200/75 (I think the first Mac with a chronically failing hard drive)
1 8600 (w/ G4 400, ATA card supporting CDRW and 80 gig drive
