It's been a long running joke in my group of friends that the only reason we all have state of the art computers is to run EVE.
I run 2 computers side by side with dual 19inch monitors. Also connected is a 32 hdtv. If you have a setup with 2 computers, get yourself synergy.
So how about it? Do you have more than one computer for EVE?

How many computers do I use to run EVE?
Only 1.
But I have 2 computers running 3 clients, if that's what you meant

Two machines here. One a brand new quad core, Vista using, terrabyte hd, 4gig RAM little beast, the other a Pentium 4, 2.8ghz, 1gig ram, 400g HD, XP using, 4-year-old weakling.
Multiplicity user, as well.
Sadly, I end up using the older machine as primary for most of my games, simply because of the Vista nonesense. But the new machine is pretty and makes games look amazing, when they will play.
Seems I spend more time using the new machine for my sideline multitasking, though, which is what it's good for. PhotoShop and such.

One computer for the "main" account, 2 laptops for alts. Used dual screen in the past, but ditched that and I'm running fullscreen on a 30" instead (2560x1600).
And yes, Synergy ftw! Sadly it doesn't work that well when running the client in fullscreen :(

You must play some old ass games, because I have not come across one game that doesn't play beautifully on Vista x64.

Actually i'm using 2 client on 1 machine with 2x 19" monitor (nothing fancy, 2-3 years old stuff) with a 8800gts 512mb...
When i need more i can run up to 4 "classic" client on that machine (most of time i play with 2 chars togheter) when i need to log in all my accounts, even if using 3rth and 4rth client in combact is pretty hard without a dedicated monitor.
The next Xmas i want to make a gift to myself and buy a new machine (or 2) and try to squeeze 4 monitors on my desk, 3 in line and 1 on top of the central one... i have yet to chose what kind of stuff to use but playing eve with many account is a big problem when you have just 2 monitors :) let alone when i play from my MacBook Pro and i have to squeeze them in 1 screen windowed... the only good thing is that this little notebook can run 4 clients smoothly :)

It's according what your perspective of 'old' is. I would say 'old *ss games' in relation to something like Police Quest, which I used to play on my 386. The games I can't get to play are newer ones, like KOTOR or KOTOR2, StarCraft, Half Life (original), Command and Conquer, Warcraft III, etc, etc.
Sometimes the 'compatibility' feature works, but more often than not, it won't even do that. Updated drivers, troubleshot from user forums, etc, etc.
