Wire Management Panel
HP Procurve 2810-24G Managed Switch

HP Procurve 2600-8 PoE Managed Switch
Cisco 2821 router /w DSP, T1 controller, 2 FXO ports
Redcomm PBX with 2 T1 Trunk cards and 4 Pots Trunk CardsWith 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.

^ :o Best Home Setup thus far, congrats Mike
;)

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?Steve
-
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.

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.

Okay I have been upgrading my home network, just ordered AUD180 worth of Cat6 cables to replace the ageing cat 5 stuff as I have just upgraded the switch to gigabit and I also am getting a 1RU cable management tray for the gap between the switch and rack mount box running pfsense
I have also just replaced my Smoothwall OS with pfSense and haven't looked back.
Here are a few photos of what i have so far, some of the stuff like the gaming console's are currently wireless but they will be hard wired in the next few weeks when the cables arrive.
This is the Main desk in the house, it is for my wife's work station which is on the left running dual head monitors and my Sons gaming PC is at the right, near the printer and in the far left corner is the cabinet I built from an old fire control panel to house the network gear and server, a few close ups of the cabinet to follow, the desk is a bit rough as I built it myself and I am not a carpenter lol
The Network cabinet built in to the end of the desk, the server, pfsense box and switch are inside and I am going to mount an android 7" tablet and Bluetooth keyboard in the right of the cabinet for SSH and web admin.. on top of the cabinet from left to right is the wireless AP, VOIP ATA and the ADSL modem with Nokia 9500 that I use as a SSH terminal via WiFi. In the yellow box in the cabinet is some spare rack hardware and network cable tester.
Close up of appliances on top of cabinet
Cabinet opened up, the inside is a bit rough looking as I had to cut it up with a grinder to make it a rack mount cabinet, I will be painting the inside of the cabinet flat black and will be putting a light smoke tint on the glass as it is glass and not perspex, it wont scratch so will buy some car tint and put it on the inside of the glass
Close up of the inside of the cabinet, freeNAS file server on left then the pfsense box in the 1RU computer, cable management tray will go in when I get the new cables between the firewall and switch which is a 3com 2924 gigabit managed switch
And finally a photo of my HAM radio shack, or at least the computer work station section, the radios are around the other side, my HAM shack is an 8 foot by 8 foot tin garden shed :)

I just hope that his "Titanic" don't sink….. :P :D
-
The Titanic file server is actually SS Titanic named after the Srat Ship Titanic from Douglas Adams not RMS Titanic, and it is meant to sink….
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Titanic
As in a file sink or a place to dump all the crap my family wants to keep and it did crash once, I bought a brand new 3TB drive a few months ago to put in it to up the storage and had it in a USB external housing to transfer files to it and knocked it off the desk :( it didnt work after that, it lasted all of 4 hours and I am still saving money to buy a replacement oh well BS happens
