Hello,
That's my setup:

Some text on the picture is in Polish but I am pretty confident you will understand everything :)
ADSL router is going to be replaced with Netgear one (with WiFi N) in some time.
Inside PC there are: Athlon 965 BE, 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 x64. Two 160GB drives (mostly for test/backup) and two "primary" 750GB drives. No RAID. So you see I have quite a lot of diskspace in total (~10TB net) :roll:
PC accesories are mostly from Logitech (MX610 mouse, Illuminated keyboard, Wingman Force 3D joystick, Wingman RumblePad gamepad, Driving Force GT steering wheel, S5500 webcam) and some from Creative (2+1 speakers, Aurvana X-Fi Live headphones). Display is Dell's excellent 2209WA.
There's also some home cinema stuff in my setup - 42" Samsung LCD TV, Pioneer DVR and Pioneer receiver, Tannoy 5+1 speakers.
ReadyNAS Duo works both as a file server/print server for my network as well as as a DLNA server for PS3 which I find (except gaming of course) as a very convenient/feature rich multimedia player. Yes, PS3 cannot play MKV's but we have mkv2vob :wink:
Iomega box is quite new piece of hardware in my setup, will probably work as a primary filestore in the future.
Cheers,
Andy
