        I've got two home setups but the majority of my home network was moved elsewhere. So the big stuff isn't in the house anymore. We used to keep a server rack in the house with some serious gear in it, but that is outside of the house now.

        In the house we have:

        • Ubiquiti ERL Router
        • Netgear Switch
        • Ubiquiti AP
        • Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2
        • IOSafe 214 (Synology) Fire Safe NAS
        • HP dc5850 Desktop (Mine)
        • HP dc5850 Desktop (Dominica's)
        • HP Folio 13 laptop
        • Lenovo Yoga 2 laptop
        • 2x iPads
        • iPad Mini
        • Google Nexus 7
        • Kindle Paperwhile
        • Kindle Classic
        • iPhone 6
        • iPhone 5s
        • Windows Lumia Phone
        • AppleTV
        • AppleTV 3
        • Several video game systems (PS3, 360, WiiU, etc.)
        • Google Chromebook

        My desktop is dual 27" monitors.

        My other house has larger rackmount Netgear ProSecure UTM and rackmount Netgear 52 port managed switch and Netgear ProSafe AP.

              Why the hell would you have some old ass Itanium box? Certainly NTG doesn't get that many requests for HP-UX.

                  You are just jealous. It's a sweet box. Just need to get the interns to get it set up. Will be perfect for running BSD.

                    Very basic:

                    • Netgear Router
                    • Aging Gaming rig/Family PC
                    • 1x NAS

                    Power is expensive here. We only power on what we need/want to use. Once we have finished with it, it gets powered off

                    Also have 2x Smartphones and a tablet too

                        @nadnerB I'm fortunate to live where power is exceptionally inexpensive & that (turning it off) is always a good idea!

                        Reference material, page 6 - while not the cheapest here (near Vancouver on the map), sub 10c/kwh is pretty good.
