Post Your Network! (56K = Possibly)

[Howard]

I don't think there's been a thread like this on Hexus before has there? Seeing as we've shown off our case mods, workstations, cars, etc, why don't we show off our networks?

Let's not take the pee with regards image size (like in the other "post your xxxx" threads)

Edit by Moby
- If the pics are too big I'll change them to links
- lets keep chatter down in this thread , I wanna see hard core cabling and other uber geeky stuff If you got a question about someones setup, please post it in a new thread

Thanks for your time , now back to the pics !

[Paul Adams]

Clients 1 & 3 are the main rigs used by my wife and myself respectively.
Recently re-jigged the network configuration to simplify it (no more multi-homing of clients).
Client 2 is my wife's secondary PC for various art programs and to use her tablet.
Clients 4 & 5 are guest machines, wirelessly connected to the WPA-PSK network.
