Redundancy? Or so you can use one for your browser that has to keep your bank happy, and one for the iPhoto stuff.
I actually have 4 that I use regularly, 5 if you count the tablet. Main machine is a T61 Thinkpad, optimized for low-power operation. Does all my browsing & normal work just fine. Second one has a couple of quad-core processors and CUDA cards, for serious number-crunching. Third is set up for the rare occasions when I need to do audio/video. (I hate noisy computers, so have removed the speakers from the others.) And all sometimes get used to make a small MPI cluster...
