Me too. Eleven and counting...
14 and looking at building at least 2 more, may reach 20 by the end of 2011.
15 with backups in three physical locations.
In the past 6 months, I've tripled the number of computers that I use, from 1 to 3.
At this rate, five years from now, I'll be using 177,147 computers.

Quoting:with backups in three physical locations.that would be ideal, as long as their integrity checked on a regular bases.
@qcimushroom: Not only that, but regularly restored to test machines as well. Nothing sucks more than a backup you can't restore!

All hardware will fail at some point, I do not want to lose my data because of it!
Presently rsync, cron and 3 old clunkers upgraded with large hard drives ensure I have 3 copies of all important data in the event of single failure.
