per single account...

and what if you have the exact same devices in three seperate rooms? will there be a problem syncing those up?

You should be able to hook up as many as you want, but it will depend on the bandwidth you have.

I have my computer, a roku box, and an Insignia BD player, all work fine, I can even stream them all simultaneously without too much trouble.

You may watch instantly on up to 6 unique devices activated at the same time. You can deactivate and activate another device, but the system only allows for 6 at the same time (as far as I know). I currently have a PS3, Roku, Insignia BD player, iPhone, and my dad's PS3. I've had zero issues so far. The Roku is easily my favorite playback device for speed, ease of use, and silent operation (i'm looking at you 60GB PS3)...

I love my Roku, especially since they redesigned the interface. Super easy!

And you can only have 2 streaming at the same time.

I'm streaming through 2 Tivos, Roku, work pc, and a home pc.

I also have 2 Xbox 360s, PS3 and a Wii but I don't really use them for streaming since I'm pretty much covered everywhere else

I thought the number of active streams had to do with your selected plan. 2 DVDs out = up to 2 streams simultaneously and so on.

I have the 3 out at a time plan and could have sworn that it said 2 a couple weeks ago when I hit my device limit and had to remove one. I could be completely wrong.

I don't think PCs or laptops count as one of the 6 devices since you don't really have to register those. I think it counts when it comes to the blu-ray players, game devices, etc.
Since I have two PS3's, a wii, my laptop, my wife's laptop, our desktop, both of my parents laptops when we are over there, and my iphone.

Whether you are there or not, I believe "your" Netflix is still available to them on "their" laptops.

I have an Xbox LIVE friend who linked another friend's 360 to his Netflix. The other friend didn't have Netflix but afterwards (with the activation code) they were able to go into a Netflix party. 2nd friend couldn't queue things up from his PC since the account belonged to the other friend ...across the country. He could still see only the Queue thru his 360.

Computers count as a device. It registers your computer through their player.

From the Netflix My Account page under instant viewing devices:

You may watch instantly on up to 6 unique devices:
Including personal computers and Netflix ready devices. You may also use this page to manually de-register devices you no longer wish to use for watching instantly. A deactivated device can be reactivated later if you wish to resume using it.

Interesting is that I have watched on more than six devices but only the most recent three are listed, my Wii, my Ipad, and my primary desktop PC. I have also watched on but they are not listed my Ipod touch, my laptop, and Imac. Perhaps they deactivate after some period of inactivity?
