      Nice.  :)

      @syro:

      1x Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT (Kamikaze)

      Isn't 'Kamikaze' an OpenWRT code name?

      Steve

      Yeah, damn straight ;)

      Fixed it, thanks!

        pfSense is on the right for my home setup.  White box running a Q8400 processor and 4GB RAM on a Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L.

        Its twin brother on the left is my FreeNAS server and the Dell 755 in the middle runs XBMC to my living room TV.

          Figured I would join in on the fun.. Just a little box keeping my network safe while allowing me to enter when i'm not home…

          Case: M300-LCD Enclosure with Bootable CF Reader, 1 PCI Slot and 2x20 LCD Display

          I posted this a while back about my setup... Needs an update tho since i'm using different packages now... http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,39362.0.html

              Here is my Setup:

              The Pfsense Firewall is the fourth box down

              case: NORCO RPC-230 2U Rackmount Server Case 1 External 5.25" Drive Bays - OEM
              processor: AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2350

              Motherboard:MSI Fuzzy RS690T Socket AM2 Mini-ITX Motherboard
              LCD Screen: CrystalFontz 635

              RAM: 4GB
              SYBA SD-ADA40001 SATA II To Compact Flash Adapter
              8GB Scandisk CF
              125 GB Sata WD Hard Disk for proxy

              Cisco 2821 router /w DSP, T1 controller, 2 FXO ports
              Redcomm PBX with 2 T1 Trunk cards and 4 Pots Trunk Cards

              With this setup I have IP TV since Comcast is taking to long! I'm a cord cutter
              but I need live TV so this gives me the best of both worlds. All my cable boxes
              are Windows 7 HTPCs. I have a Cisco 7940 VoIP phones and I use the Cisco 2821
              As a Voice gateway to connect to the outside world via Magic Jack. I also have a T1 trunk to the PBX so I can practice connecting to legacy equipment. I have attached a picture of my setup because I'm not sure if the link that I have provided of the picture will show up, it's not showing up when I preview this message. I also have netbook with a netzoom usb fax modem not pictured here for inserting callerID (Win7callerID) information on top of the TV when people call. There is also a Xbox 360 and a Nintendo Wii in this closet. I also have a two cable modems 100 Mbps service and 50 Mbps Service from Comcast.

              PS. Most of the equipment is backed up by UPS power.

                  Thanks, I forgot to add I have Cisco Call Manager 4.3 and 8 running in a VM controlling the phones. I'm thinking about adding a asterisk box for the Voice mail capabilities and seeing if I can integrate that with call manager since I don't have Unity. Anyone who has done this already please pm me.

                    I agree it's an impressive rack!  ;)
                    Dare I ask how much power that draws? Do you run all of that 24/7?

                      When I built the room I added 20 Amp services dedicated to just the room. Not sure how much current it draws but by electric bill is about $250 in the winter and close to $400 in summer with air conditioner running. I run everything but the PBX all the time. By the way for wireless I use the EnGenius EAP600 High-Powered Dual-Band Indoor Wireless-N AP.

                      I think its worth it though. I'm not much of a partier and I don't through my money away on strippers I just like to play around with things and make them work. Hopefully I will find my dream job where my boss will buy me what ever I want and I can play with things at work. I have a pretty fancy lab at work too, where I have a IPsec tunnel. One of these days I will get around to document that for you guys too. I do think it's telling that I have a Cisco 2821 series router but I would rather use Pfsense for my router / firewall than use Cisco. Don't get me wrong I'm a big Cisco fan but I am really liking what you guys at Pfsense are doing and I am telling all my Cisco Fan boy friends about you guys. Keep it up!

                          Nice looking case. What is Inteno? I searched it on bing.com and only found reference to a open source platform, and something about a broadband service in Sweden.

                            Looks like a Switch with the optional Fiber tray.

                              Looks like a specialized box for a particular IPTV solution.

                                they are used as a switch here in sweden when you have fiber.

                                for Internet, TV, and extra box for ip phone

                                          on the far right, p4, pico power supply, no video (onboard or otherwise).  with no video, it surprisingly efficient.  I had another p4 with onboard video, and it used twice the power, no matter if you were using the video or not.

                                          the far left is a high efficiency 12v power supply.  powers the router, switch, wireless, and some other stuff.

                                            Hi!
                                            here is my solution:

                                            2 x Appliance pfSense 2.0.3

                                            Hardware
