Hmmm...seems too late for me to edit my post...I should've mentioned "Windows Server 2003 Web Editiion" as I don't need a fully-featured server OS such as domain controller and such...
As you can see in the picture below:
It's nice to be able to hide it somewhere (while still providing ventilation) so that I could remotely control the home automation settings via a wireless network. The low-wattage power supply is great, which allows me to run the server 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

About Insteon (which I provided a link above), the reason why I went with Insteon is reliability. With X10 (which I previously used), to turn on the lamp, I have to wait about 833 milliseconds in order for the light to come on, but sometimes, the light may not come on. With Insteon, I can have up to 16.7 million devices, which uses a 24-bit addressing, which are pre-set by factory for each of Insteon devices. But with X10, you can have up to 256 devices. This can present a problem because if I live in an apartment, I can be sharing the same powerline with others, so if my apartment has a lamp module which sets to B15 and another apartment with a lamp module set to B15, okay so I turn on the light and -- both of the lights come on in two apartments! Worse, somebody can play with X10 addresses! Thus, X10 "protocol" dates back to 1975, while Insteon protocol is new on 2005, although consumers have not been aware by the time Insteon devices have been made and announced to the public.
You can view the products
here. My two products (ControlLinc V2 Tabletop Controller and LampLinc V2 Dimmer) will be delivered by Thursday. This is my first time trying something new, since I didn't like X-10 that much...One problem is the
stick-in wall switch that sticks into the wall and when taking the stick-in wall switch off the wall, it damaged the paint in the 1970s apartment... That's around last year--probably January/February 2006...
