mmmm tasty. I couldn't even get any shots after it was done baking. Straight to the tummy!

Servers in my Den.

The white one on the top left is my old firewall. P3 600 w/ 384mb of ram, and a failing 20gb hdd running pfsense 1.2
The top right is the backup server.
Bottom left, on the floor is the new firewall. Athlon x2 4600+ w/ 2x 500gb hdds in raid1. I'm currently running smoothwall express 3, though thinking I'll swap back to pfsense since I prefer it a little more. I'll roll my own eventually. A lot more I want to do that I can't with any of the current firewall distros. I'll also be running a freeradius server, a print/scan server and a few other things in another VM.

The bottom middle server is my dev box. Currently a Q6600 w/ 8 gigs of ram and 3x 500gb hdds in raid 5. Next is the media box that streams 1080p blu ray goodness to my TV, with an ATI 4830 video card. I usually prefer nVidia video cards, but ATI has been wiping the floor with nvidia cards for a while now when it comes to HD. Soon I'll also have a Logitech MX Air mouse to better control my experience.

On the top shelf I've got a wrt54g running dd-wrt (probably stick tomato on it later, as it seems a little more to my liking.) Next is a Netgear 8 port unmanaged layer 2 switch, and lastly is currently my only means of getting on the web - a Motorola cable modem.

You'll also notice my laptop and a small usb hdd on the floor. I'm copying some stuff onto it for work tonight.

Oh, and I almost forgot, I have a 750va UPS running the old (soon to be new) firewall, and the networking gear on the top shelf. Then there's the Belkin 1200va UPS running the other three (well four for now) boxes. And in the back, behind the scenes in s Furman power filter. Those things are awesome. Not your typical one hit wonder surge bar. For those that think consumer grade UPSs from APC and belkin alike have awesome power filters. All I can say is that you're stupid... Seriously. I'm not even sorry to say that, it's the nicest thing I can say about you. Now go on and crawl up in a corner and cry yourself to sleep, all the while you wet yourself because you're just that ignorant. (there, that was better.)
