The array currently has 8x 500GB and 4x 3TB.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/ZueYlTr.jpg[/img] I've been using my laptop as a file/torrent/usenet server. I removed the CD drive, wireless card, and undervolted the processor so it only uses 15 watts now!
There's a few things in the pipeline re my home servers at the moment - I'm moving from Citrix Xen to VMWare and making some significant changes to the network. In the meantime here's a picture of my Cisco Lab - not really servers but it's along the right lines... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/hGhCxu0.jpg[/IMG]
And I guess the router is kind of a server too; it's running openwrt and has ssh access.

Oh man XL5 you post some pretty clean looking setups. I assume you're an IT professional, do you focus on Cisco or is it more of a jack of all trades thing?
Reposting my servers for the new thread This is my home server: [t]http://i.imgur.com/xwXFGgH.jpg[/t] [t]http://puu.sh/2cxOx[/t] 2.67 GHz Core2Quad Q8400 8GB DDR2 500GB Seagate HDD for OS / VMs 1 TB Western Digital HDD dedicated to my Ubuntu VM for media storage ATI X800, since it was the cheapest GPU with a VGA connector that I could find On my Ubuntu VM, I run [URL="http://sabnzbd.org/"]SABnzbd[/URL], [URL="http://www.transmissionbt.com/"]Transmission[/URL], [URL="http://sickbeard.com/"]Sickbeard[/URL], [URL="https://couchpota.to/"]Couchpotato[/URL], [URL="http://www.serviio.org/"]Serviio[/URL], Apache and Samba. Occasionally I run a Tekkit Lite server. I also have a KVM VPS from DigitalOcean with 1 GB RAM, 30 GB SSD, 1 CPU core, 2 TB of bandwidth for $10/month. I use it to run my Minecraft server, three websites, an IRC bouncer and Mumble. [img]http://puu.sh/2cy1o[/img]

i had a pentium III server
Is the new windows server worth anything compared to 2008? =P (As in, should I bother reinstalling? =P)
Yes its generally pretty highly regarded, plenty of new features added.
Some itty bitty motherboard driven by a Intel Atom D525 which manages my fileserver. It's got 4 1.5TB harddrives in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-standard_RAID_levels#RAID-Z"]RaidZ[/URL] Netting me a tiny bit over 4 TeraByte in actual usable capacity. Biggest parts taking up space are the harddrives, and then the fullsize ATX psu. Also tinkering with a Allwinner A10 "Android" stick by installing a tweaked version of debian on it and hooking up a USB -> wired ethernet adapter to it and using it as dedicated webserver.

I currently work in a Secondary School and would not pass up the opportunity to jump ship if it was offered to me.
It's nice, because the job is safe - nobody gets fired from a school unless they touch something they shouldn't... but the pay is terrible and the amount of "above and beyond" jobs you get asked to do is annoying. And nobody in education ever thanks IT. Ever. What annoyed me most is the lack of scope for in house development. Everything is third party, and nothing really works well together and it's annoying because it could work so well, but because of management decisions higher up the chain, it doesn't.

[QUOTE=metallics;39829112]I don't feel very inclined to thank IT when I know they are playing warcraft 3 in their office and yet act like it's so much bother when I ask them to do something![/QUOTE] It's a much more stressful job than you think. What you don't see/notice is what really counts. That said, front line 'technicians' are usually just slacking off...
[QUOTE=XL5;39829374] That said, front line 'technicians' are usually just slacking off...[/QUOTE] I can confirm this. However $10/hr part time isn't exactly incentive against slacking.
FYI if anybody needs mounting brackets for Cisco equipment, let me know. We're cleaning out our datacenter and we literally have boxes and boxes of them, lots of different kinds. I'll send some to you as long as you cover the cost of shipping.

[QUOTE=Van-man;39845058]Snatch it all and ebay it.[/QUOTE] Ebay has given me nothing but trouble in the past. Don't they take over 10% of the sale? Oh gosh, they're just throwing servers out. There's three old ProLiants just sitting there. If we didn't have an asset DB I'd consider taking them.
