So we get plenty of posts here about individual PCs and their components...how about we all desribe
what makes up our home networks. I'll start:

modem: DSL/uverse with integrated router/switch/AP, provided by AT&T. Works fine but doesn't have
802.11n.

switch: An SMC 10/100, has never needed a power cycle. Will need to upgrade to gigabit if I ever
start moving large files around.

Desktop: 2007-era Dell dual core, connected via Ethernet.

Laptop: 2010 Gateway, used mainly as an htpc. Connected via Ethernet.

Console: A 360, one of the slim ones. Ethernet connection.

Phone: Original iphone, still works well. Don't use it much at home anymore since I got the
tablet.

Tablet: HP Touchpad.

Printer: Samsung color laser, connected via Ethernet.

A DSL wireless gateway and a mobile (pocket-sized) Hotspot. The
Hotspot is good for up to eight connected devices, and it can be
taken with me. The DSL is just less than 3 Mbps and the Hotspot is
about 5 Mbps when USB connected to the PC. Total cost is about $68
per month.

Wow! I'd like to see a photo of that 17 foot Asus monitor. You could
build a house around that! <smile>

So would I! ;-)

I don't think I'd have a wall large enough for it, especially the
height, even at 16x9. I guess I'd have to build a special home theatre.
Problem is, they would probably only make the resolution 1920x1080p.
That would make the pixel size a very considerable 2.5 mm. Need to be
viewing it from a long way back.
