My little home network isn't based on cutting-edge equipment, but it's good enough to get the job done. I use a Linksys wireless router and Speedstream DSL modem for connectivity (3Mbps down, 640kbps up), and here's the rest of it. Yes, our family has more computers than people.

Yes, I know, some of the computers have mixed PC2700 and PC3200 memory, so they end up being forced to slow down to DDR333 instead of running at DDR400. That's what happens when you upgrade and cannibalize in order to assemble your home LAN.
