Well, many of us here are geeks, so I figured I'd take a few shots of my 'setup'. I'm now calling my basement The DataCenter.

[Image #1]

[Image #4]
You can see the 2 monitors for my Windows servers, and below all 4 cases for my computers. The while one (Left) Is my windows domain server/DNS server. The silver/white one is my (Windows) Web server/FTP/SQL server, and in black is my Linux server. All the servers have between a 733MHz P/// and 1.4Ghz AMD CPU with 128MB or 512MB of RAM.

My 'box' (In blue to the right) is:

[s]AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Overclocked to 2.48GHz
1.0GB DDR400MHz CAS2.5 RAM
DVD/CD-RW
Radeon 9600 Pro video with Dual monitor outputs.
2x 17" CRT monitors (Once I get enough money I'll have 2 nice ones)
2 120GB Hard Disks in RAID0 configuration[/s]

Upgrades!

Intel Pentium 4 LGA 560 - 3.40GHz -> 3.81Ghz
PDP DDR400 CAS2 RAM
Gigabyte motherboard (915-Dou-A)
nVidia 6600GT - Pci-Express
Samsung 710N LCD display (17")
2x 120GB HD - IDE RAID0
1x 300GB HD - IDE
1x Serial-ATA WD Raptor - 36GB 10k RPM

Logitech wireless Kb/Mouse

So anyone else have a cool setup?

My setup doesn't look too impressive, perhaps because my office is actually a storage closet (Condo's don't really have any office space). So in my 5' x 8' "office" I have two computers, one HP monitor I "borrowed" from my brother, a scanner that barely runs on XP, a 100MB Parrellel Port Zip Drive (haven't used it in years now) and an Epson 777 Printer. Behind my chair is a bookshelf filled with all kinds of crap.

View Office Space

Main Computer:
Windows XP Pro
2.40 GHz Intel Pentium
1 GB RAM
NVidia GeForce4 Ti 4200 w/ AGP8x Video Card
SB Audigy/Creative 5.1 Surround Sound System

Alternate Computer:
RedHat Linux
333 Mhz Intel Pentium
128 MB RAM
