Well, that always is an option, but here's why it isn't the best one for me.

Imagine me being in the RV somewhere remote in New Mexico and "the" computer fails. I have no parts stores anywhere near me. I then have to drive who knows how far to find a part. HDD, mobo, whatever. With more computers I have a backup.

Also, one computer is full of movies, TV shows, concerts, like two 2tb drives full. I don't want to mess with that one. The other is the music computer, which is not on the internet, only on my home LAN (which I will have in the RV). The "daily use" computer is for surfing, email, banking, and such... THAT one has the mondo virus and malware software on it. (Here at home I connect through a proxy server, so the virus stuff is on the computer running as a proxy server. I will not have that in the RV so life will change.)

So 3 PCs, all doing different jobs.

Besides I just bought a new tin foil hat.
