Hmm.  I'l take an ex housemate of mine and raise you :
pdp 8, 11/34, vax 730,750,780,785, NxMVII, Sequent Symmetry, J-Random Pyramid,
and an Encore Multimax 310.  I'll leave out the boxes that can be carried
by two or less people (there were 9 MVIIs, hence leaving them in 8)
We had to pass up the DG10000 machine because I couldn't find a trailer
big enough that I thought I could tow with an 1800cc 4cyl car 8)

Basically, there are lots of silly people out there 8)
