Yes, it hosts my XBMC library and my SickBeard, CouchPotato and Headphones files.
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9650
RAM: 2x2GB DDR3
HDD: 1x 500GB, 2x1TB
Uplink: 1Gbit uplink
ISP: UPC 120Mb/10Mb
LoL, I forgot to include my HP 2133 or Synology DS110j...
Mine's quite lame:
It was my 2nd laptop ever and now is just used for any stallion development I want to get done. It's a sluggish laptop though so i'm probably going to just move it to a local vmware instance.

That'd be so awesome.

I live in the middle of no where, in lucky to get 7Mbps down. I was referring to the uplink to my home network.
Half the time my 3G is faster then my home DSL, I get around 12Mbpa down and 4Mbps up on HSPA+
In Canada you can get on with shaw and get a pretty solid deal. I'm paying $50/m for 50mbit/5mbit and 400GB/m of usage.
You can actually get a 100mbit/15Mbit fully unmetered plan for ~$120/m.
Francisco
You can still be lucky about that, at my old place i got 1Mbps down/128 kbit up
Now i have cable internet 128/5mbit unlimited for 45€/month (i download around 500gb-1tb every month)
they've been good in victoria thankfully
Can't speak for the rest though.
Well, i've got 7 servers
Its a mix of 2 HP, 1 Dell, 1 IBM, 3 custom made ones. All of them have 4GB RAM, 2 x250GB Hard Disk, RAID 1, Quad Core processors.
The reason i have so many servers is that some of them are for testing OpenVZ patches, any new services i may offer in the future so all 7 of them are being used for something.
I have a hp proliant dl380 g3 but I hardly run it because its sooooo noisy and draws about 500w power
OMG, that is some hefty internet bill... I remember the times I had a leased line with 4K i was sharing with the neighbourhood and which costed 3 times more than 512/256 in Sweden...
Probably such situations spawned the current huge competition that allows for a real synchronous 10-20 mb for 10 euro (advertised as 100 mb tho...)
I live in an old (historic) part of the town and I can still get 10-15 providers if I search well at prices ranging from 10 to 75 Euro for a 100 mb line, with different guarantees and real speeds, of course...
http://www.netindex.com/download/allcountries/ That doesnt show the price, tho...

I really dont understand ppl that have so many energy hungry machines at home, one main reason for which I use VPSes is that the energy bill is higher than most LEBs cost...

@charliecron lol, what do you use that for?
Just a secure way to get into my home network, from work. It runs ddclient, denyhosts. Also keep an screen-irssi running to chat with Atari 8-bit folks on irc. It also runs an atari800 emulator in ncurses mode.
Cool, one day I will put up an old project of mine, Z80 hosting. Dont laugh, I am serious.

Your not the only one who has thought of that sort of thing
I currently have 2 machines running home servers, 1 for a media center, the other running 2 killing floor servers and whatever else I feel like running.
HDD Space: 320GB
ISP: StarHub Cable Vision Ltd
RAM: 2GB
Processor: model name : Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N550 @ 1.50GHz
Computer Model: Asus 1015PEM
Operating System: CentOS 6.2
Uptime: root@applejack [~]# uptime
20:33:03 up 3 days, 8 min, 2 users, load average: 0.03, 0.08, 0.03
Location: lolwat.
And the other one:
HDD Space: 60GB
RAM: 512MB
Processor: Intel Pentium 4M 2.4GHz
Computer Model: Unknown.
Operating System: Debian
Uptime: 20:34:01 up 14 days, 12 mins, 1 user
Location: Again, lolwat.
My home server is brand new and runs Debian 6 on a Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 motherboard with Celeron CPU G540 @ 2.50GHz, 8GB RAM, 80GB SSD and a 2TB HD. It runs kvm with virtual machines for fileserver, mailserver, squeezeserver, trac, webserver and some more.
The uptime is at the moment 3 days.
I also have a server I use for storing backups. This server is booted each night by WOL and the data from the virtual machines is rsynced to it.
I got 35mbps down, 80mbps up (fibre) at home for like 30euro/month love NL
OMG I would cry! The last time I used less than 400GB was April 2011. One of the downsides to getting rid of cable TV.
+1 My whole network (server, NAS, 2 routers, external USB drive, and modem) cost me about $30/year for 24x7 access. I used to have a 8-core AMD Opteron doing the same thing my Intel Atom does but it was costing me about $15/month to run. Not to mention noise is a huge factor for me since my whole network is under my bed so silence really is golden.
It is a mix of Hitachi DeathStar 7K's and Samsung HD204UI all hanging from a 3ware 9690SA-4i and 2 Chenbro SAS expanders. I created 4 8 drive raid6 arrays on the 3ware then used mdadm to raid0 them all, and at the time, smartctl had just added a new feature to mess with the S.M.A.R.T. settings, so compiled from source and on boot, added the following to /etc/rc.local to set all the drives to ignore errors after 7 seconds to avoid timing out of the array as is common when using desktop drives with a hardware raid card.
Low rpm high cfm fans for the win! I really need to get a couple more of those fans for my switch, and old Dell 5324 is the only thing on my network that is audible.
Well, Shaw auto upgrades your plan to the next level up when you run out of BW so the overages are very reasonable.
Worst case, if you're riding your line 24/7, you'll be out $120/m.

Wondering about the same thing here. I am thinking about putting a few Raspberry Pi's at home, and maybe an old 3ghz pentium 4 HP machine otherwise. Or dualcore.
Anybody knows how much energy a desktop pc consumes? HP office machine.

Those old P4's are the worse energy hogs. You can get a modern E3 quad core xeon server with several disks and it will consume half of the power that the Pentium 4 needs and yet will be MUCH faster.
Typical P4's use over 100 watts, Core2Duo's average 65-100 depending on specs from my experience and my killawatt.
With comcast I get 250GB/m of usage 0.o
I have 3 P4s and a AMD Pheneom II X6 on a UPS, and just one of the P4s use over twice the power of the X6.
I have my old Pentium 4 Desktop lying around in my bedroom, if I could get my hands on a VERY long Ethernet cable that I could somehow get under our carpet, I would turn that into a server.. Or I could possibly use a supported Wireless USB Adaptor that is supported out of the box with Crunchbang Linux?
