Wow, thats impressive! And I thought my setup was complex :-)
Thanks! Took a few months to save enough for it. Total cost I believe was only about $3000 USD for the what you see in the pic. Even the two laptops were only like $400/each.
The expensive part was the internet connection. It was around $275/mo + the cost of electricity for the servers.

so why such a large home networking setup? is it a hobby of yours or do you work in IT or what?
I enjoy computers and do IT work for a living, but I also host a few dozen websites for companies, non-profits, a few Hollywood type, myself, my friends and family. I wanted it to be fast, stable and reliable hardware so most of it wasn't consumer level equipment. All the Dell machines are server class and the two taller towers are homebrew servers.
