              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 :)

                        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
