What's your home network like?

C'mon guys, this is a thread for people to share what their home network is like. It's not inviting people to come along and criticize other people's network and complain about how it's OTT or how it's not cost effective, I'm pretty sure this topic's not supposed to be about that seeing as I created it.

this is also a hardware users forum, so the setups are very likely to be OTT....handbags away girls!!!
 
Blimey - and I turn my little Netgear NAS off overnight because I don't want to waste electricity (or kill the planet). How do you guys with all those machines live with your electricity bills (or your carbon footprint)?

This is what puts me off having so much equpment running. I have a bog standard Sky router and I can share files, printers etc without a problem, I don't see the need for a computer to do that with some storage!
 
Here is my list:

1 X Netgear DG384G
1 X Netgear DGN1000
2 X 3Com 8 Port Switches
2 X Cisco WS-3550-24-EMI
1 X Cisco 2651XM
1 X Cisco 2621
2 X Cisco WIC-T1
1 X Cisco WIC-1ADSL
1 X Cisco HWIC-1ASDL
1 X Cisco 1841
1 X Linksys WAP610N

2 X Laptops
1 X Desktop
1 X HP Microserver
1 X PS3
1 X Xbox 360
1 X AV AMP
1 X TV

I think that's about everything.

Server is now running WHS 2011. Server is a 2100 i3 on an H67 chipset board.

Cat6 laid throughout the 2 story apartment.

If only I could get the media players to see the WHS 2011 shares all would be well but that is for another thread... speaking of which, time to post it ;).

Costs me 20p per day. Everything else in my house is energy saving stuff. Or as best as I can get it. That said, I still have quite high electricity bills due to the sheer amount of gadgets, and the fact I have a lser in my spare room which likes to suck up the juice!
