The work bench.
Little 12U rack, with a TrendNET 24 port gigabit switch, 24 port cat5e patch panel, and a 16port Trendnet KVM switch. Dual bay hard drive dock by Sabrent, 24 port tripplite surge protected power bar, an old IDE enclosure, an ESD mat, and a bunch of other misc. tools.
A little bit of gumption, and of course a nice ice cold Whataburger sweet tea!
