I bow to Dave's geekhood

Recently I posted on fellow uber-geek Anthony Vitnell and his OCS setup at home.

In that post my mate from Nortel, Dave Lloyd, left a comment describing his home setup which sounded very impressive.

Well I just got some photos of Dave's setup and they confirm that he is indeed the king. Check them out below.

Apparently in early 2008 Dave is moving home to be near a hydro-electric dam, so he can build his own power station and reduce electricity costs :)

Can you out-geek Dave?

Update: I just noticed that Dave also has Boonie guarding his equipment!

I just got an email from Anthony Vitnell from HP who is one of Australia's leading UC consultants, and who is also a geek.

" Without fear of being labeled a geek, I have decided to embrace Unified Communications as much as possible. For 2 years I have lived in my apartment without a telephone (very high mobile phone bill though) and I decided to leverage some of the Unified Communication Demo kit that I have (when it’s not travelling around APJ) and built myself a house phone using OCS 2007, Polycom CX7000 and AudioCodes MP-114 Voip Gateway + Microsoft Lifecam camera, all displayed in the picture below (along with the UC Partner of the year award :)).

Very complex solution for a house phone, but I have to say it is very sexy if I do say so myself. "

Yes Anthony you are a geek, but you're not a geek alone - that looks disturbingly like my setup at home which has essentially the same configuration, with a talking VB Boonie to guard it all of course.
