My network gets used for all sorts of stuff, ranging from test servers (with all manner of Windows O/S's) thru' to a support logging server with Exchange and SupportDesk, a laptop or two thrown in for good measure, and my baby (spec'd below).

Oh and they are mostly doing a little bit of crunching here and there
