I just thought this poll might be both a bit of 'fun' and interesting....

@Kulmbacher... I added 0 which zeroed out the poll. Pretend this is an election ... Vote early, Vote often.

I have three. One that I can break with impunity, one that serves as back up, and one that is my daily driver. Although my daily driver, the laptop is being recalcitrant at the moment.

Two.
One on what was my wife's old, useless, non updatable Imac.
It now works beautifully.
The other on my daily desktop.
"9"!?! Wow! That must look awesome!

You are a maniac. Or a genius. Or a man in love.
In any case, MX deserves love.

I have six.
My daily MX-15 driver desktop
My fiancee's desktop - MX-17
Development desktop - MX-18
Local repository build machine & Jukebox - MX-16
HP Laptop for trips - MX-17
A spare repository/Jukebox machine on the shelf, just in case.
I also have an Arm Chromebook with a debian crouton install since MX doesn't have an Arm version.
And I'm not counting any of the virtual machines on my Daily or Dev boxen.

3.
Went minimalist a number of years ago - all are Zotac mini's.
One for desktop, one hooked up to hdtv for streaming, one in the room I'm going to use for oil painting once I get around to it
All run great on MX 14 - 17.1, haven't tried 18 beta yet but plan to soon.

Have 1 Desktop with MX-17.1 64-bits and 1 Gateway LT2030U Mini Laptop running MX-17.1 32-bits, I'm glad you still offer a 32-bits version, gave new life to this not so modern mini laptop, thank you for that guys!

One serves as a media / music server running MX 16. The other is on my personal laptop running MX 17. My kids are getting laptops for Christmas, and hopefully soon they will be MX converts.

I have MX-17.1 Linux on my HP desktop and on my Acer laptop. I was able to convince the son of a friend of mine to put MX-17.1 on a laptop. Everyone else are stuck in the Microsoft world of Windows.

Four separate installations on my desktop PC:
1. MX16 (replaced my MX14 install)
2. MX15 test partition migrated to MX16
3. MX17 pre-Release Candidate tested by dev team prior to RC's release
4. MX17
Two separate installations on my new laptop:
5. MX16
6. MX17 (from a snapshot from my PC)
7. on my old laptop: MX16
8. on my father's Aspire One netbook: MX16 32-bit
Total: 8 (still lots of MX16 in the mix)
plus a few VMs which I don't treat as permanent.
