I have an A3000D converted to a tower and an A500.

I got the A500 in 1990 to replace my C= 64.  It was my only computer until late 1996.  I then upgraded to an A3000 because the 'net was unbearable on the 500.

I used the 3000 for general computing (i.e. network apps, games, ect.) until 2000.  At the end my 3k was outfitted with a CSPPC 233/50, Picasso IV, and a X-Surf card.

In 2000, I got a K6-2 PC running Win98 for course work (i.e. word processing, simulations, programming) things that couldn't be done on the Amiga.  I used the 3k for everything else.

However, last October, the 3k got VERY flakey and I don't have time to troubleshoot the hardware.  So, I have a WinXP machine I use for network apps and my wife uses for games.  I also have a P3 Win2k laptop and (two heads are better than one!) an Athlon XP Win2k machine I use for course work.  I ditched the K6-2 sometime back in 2001....I think.
