I'm not the OP, but my 82 year old dad has a server rack in his house. It holds mostly telecom/network gear, but also has a simple NAS of some sort that he uses for backups (not sure what it is). Also, most people with $1MM homes with integrated media systems piping through their house have a rack with telecom/network/media. A friend of mine has one in a house built 4 years ago. So yeah, clearly this is a small minority, but still a bigger population than you might expect. And for reference, only one of the houses that I mentioned was over a million dollars. The other is about half than. And neither are geeks (one is a doctor, the other a retired manager).
