I would love to have one to play with, possibly run as a remote backup server. But there are two primary reasons that I can't.
1) New baby coming and he has taken my office. I'm working from
the kitchen table nowadays. :)
2) Momma (wife) says no to any more equipment, so I've setup a
virtual machine on my laptop and it works pretty well for my needs
in development and testing.
Funny in cleaning out the old office last week I found tons of stuff (printers, fax machines, HDD, memory), stuff I didn't remember collecting, that I had to get rid of too. Fortunately I know a few young guys from the gym that like playing with computers that wanted most of it. So I didn't even have to drive it to a recycling center.
I started laughing last week, I put a few large metal cabinets in the garage for cleaning out my office and one has nothing but networking tools, a few misc parts, things like that-that I use often. I thought about you and how it must have been with your additions that pushed you out of the house, I'm in the same boat. Started thinking this must happen to all IT guys at one time or another.
