Haha cool, I'm a big Amiga fan too. I collect them. I work IT for the USAF too.

Definitely a big computer nerd here. I work as a linux system administrator.

Here is a pick of my 45U rack that is in my house:



I have about 70TB worth of disks in that rack =) All together I would estimate probably around 20k USD of hardware. I bought it all back before I had a house and car payment =) Won't be doing upgrades for quite a while now.

I also have fiber internet (two lines) bonded for around 70/70 speeds:



Needless to say I am a bit of a speed freak (both on the road and on the net)

I am just a bit of a storage pack rat. I have a massive media collection and I generally don't delete anything I download. I also have a 2U server at work that is a core i7 style xeon, 24 GB of ram, 8x1.5 TB in raid6 and 4x256 GB SSD raid0 and 2 gigs of internet connectivity. I push a ton of traffic off that machine (much more than whats possible off my home connections).

I am the same, I have a 24U server rack with only two systems right now. One has 11TB though, slowly building it all up.

I guess I qualify too..

I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems and a M.S. in Information Security and Assurance. I also have a couple of certs.. Network+/Security+ and CEH. Planning to get CHFI sometime soon..

Working in security consulting, pen testing, vulnerability and risk assessment, computer forensics, etc..

I studied the M.S. degree in Maryland for a year at Towson University. I'll go back one day.. hehe..

Nice to have a bunch of fellow nerds on the forum..

It is actually not that bad. During the winter where I don't have to run the A/C at all my power bill is just under $100/month. With everything in the rack turned on it uses about 1000 watts of power idle but I typically don't have everything running (only about half of it) and it idles at around 450 watts:



The top 20 disk 4U machine runs open solaris =). One big raidz2 volume. Didn't really see a reason for multiple vdev's for what I use it for.
