I'm on a similar page with Valdis, cable modem and a couple wireless routers (11n with USB drive for media, b/g downstairs for kids Xbox). The serious toys are at the office :) And no guitar gear, but keyboards and home theater gear have priority. Used to run a Nepenthes honeypot but have retired it as very little malware is network-driven these days and the returns were minimal.
Also have a small museum in the back room, with an IBM 2311 disk drive carcass (glass door intact), a 360/65 front panel, and an HP9000 D-class (still boots when I can afford the power/noise/nostalgia).
