My setup:

I sit in front of a Wintel PC (700Mhz, Win2K) at my desk,
at least until tonight when its being replaced by a G4 Mac
running OS X.  The PC makes a great SSH terminal and someplace
to run a web browser from, as well as VPN/VNC into work to
read my email there, games, etc.

Across the room, I have another G3 PowerMac that is pretty much
a dedicated scanner / Photoshop machine.  

At http://images.sunhelp.org/rack/rack-hardware you can see the
"rest" of my current home network - Ultra 60 (dual 360/4meg,
512meg) fileserver and number cruncher, and a SunBlade 100
workstation (also attached to the monitor that the PC is on) for
when I need to "sit in front of" a UNIX workstation for things I
cant do via an X server on the PC.

Got various other machines in the house (Amy's PC, some laptops,
etc) but thats pretty much my network (all connected via a 
Grand Junction / Cisco 10/100 switch, with a Linksys BEFSR11
"gateway"/NAT box and a RoadRunner cable modem..)
