I know this sounds really nerdy, but I am building some rack-mount PCs at work and would also like to rack-mount my home gear just for playing around. I currently have a dsl modem, 4-port switch, a 4-port hub, and a wirelss adapter all sitting on a shelf in a spider-web looking mess. It seems to me that it would be nice to combine some of these products into one that will rack-mount. Yes I am aware that there are a number of wireless dsl routers out there, but I can't find one that will fit in my rack....anyone else find one?

I would think that there would be a DSL card you could buy to put in a used Cisco router.
 
you can put an adsl wic into a router and have it do you modem functions. youll need a 1700 or 2600 series router likely for it to work.

i use a 2514 cisco to do my dsl, but youll still need an external modem if you were to go that route.
a 2900 series switch from cisco will give you 12 or 24 100mb ports depending on which you choose.
