Can we include the copious amounts of consoles & handhelds the kids have

Sega Mega Drive with 7.6Mhz(?)......Away in garage(?)
Nintendo Game Cube with 485Mhz....Away in garage(?)
2 x PS1 with 33MHz.....All in garage
3(?) PS2`s with 300Mhz???...2 original black ones and the newer little silver one...1 in Garage
PSP 333Mhz...or is it still 222MHz?Even thats away in the garage now,unused & unloved.
3(now) X Nintendo DS`s 67Mhz apiece....Pink ones though,so i cant even take one to work with me,without looking getting some odd looks.
1 x Wii with 729MHz
1 x PS3 with 3.2Ghz,away back to whence it came due to some unknown fault at the moment,although my lads mabey going to get the £££ back.....and wait,like he was advised to.He might go for the Xbox himself but he`s not really a serious gamer and just more of a "wanter".....i`m not sure whats worse
Even his new HDTV,to go with the PS3 had a dead(stuck) pixel hence needed replaced so he`s not had much luck with his own new toys recently.
At least his PC/OS never Fubar i suppose

None of mine have an Xbox atm though but i did recently fix(??) my workmates "Red Ring of Death",with some bathroom towels
"Google it"

IF he ever "wants" a uber PC for Gaming then i know what he will get
