Here are some pics. Multiple posts because of the 100k limit. These are of the server rack. I got it brand new on craigslist for $150, and it's normally over $2k new. I have a 24 port patch panel at the top which will connect to another one in the attic for future expansion after I finish the basement. A 48 port panel which will go out to all of the rooms (only about 8 ports are actually wired so far). 2 crappy 1u servers, one that runs Zoneminder for video surveillance, and the other has 3TB of disk for a backup server and general storage. A Juniper EX-4200 POE switch, and a J-6350 router/firewall. A crappy old Cisco 48 port switch, and a couple of APC 1500's in the bottom that I got for free because the batteries were shot (and I reconditioned them to 100% capacity).
On the top of the cabinet is a Juniper SSG5 as a backup in case my 6350 croaks, and a couple of wireless access points.
