What do you have your computers doing? (Anything continous).

E.g:

Server machine:

Beta testing area for my site
VMware server for testing other distros of Linux

Personal machine:

TV recorder (uses a schedule) - automatically records programs I watch, incase I miss them
Motion detecting webcam - uses a standard webcam, but starts recording images if it sees anything move
Initial web development platform

Well in my house

2 Personal Machines. One mine one my dads and are both very similar specs.

We have a machine that plays music and the radio off (this is very slow)

I was thinking about using my coumputer as a host for my sites but then I decided it was not worth it.

mine are constantly monitoring Bandwith and also on Photoshop as I come up with my next masterpiece :p
@ebittner using your computer as a host is a good idea providing you have, over 256Kb/s Upstream and 8MB downstream, a higher upstream is important! I would like to see you continue with this plan, Ill help you if you need it.

I don't have my computer doing anything exciting. It is just what I use for work everyday.

I use my computer for everything. Work (writing), surfing the Internet (forums and shopping). I'm trying to do more Web design so I've been running more programs lately.
