I currently run an entire startup in my garage, this includes routers, webserver, database servers, UPS's, etc, all hand built by the way. I work on it with 3 other guys who live 45 minutes to 4 hours away. We've bootstrapped this thing in a way that I'll have to write about once we're funded. I'm currently located in Virginia, and there is a mountain behind my house thats on fire about two miles away. I've been battling smoke for the last 48 hours. Operating out of your own house is amazingly convenient and a large undertaking at the same time. I both love and hate it, but most of all I've learned from it. Also, I'm running everything off of a Comcast Business Class connection, which was able to handle a LifeHacker post (10K visits in about 5 hours), so if Comcast frowns on my setup they haven't mentioned anything yet.

Awesome, I'm going to run it off of Comcast's network as well. I hope the fire shortly stops, mmx. Sounds like you're in a rock and a hard place right now. We just need Mother Nature's intervention.

I mentioned my setup in another post; I'm running on a residential Comcast line, and since my traffic is low I can get away with it. YMMV :)
