4 Crown XTi 1000 amplifiers
2 Crown XTi 2000 amplifiers
DBX 166XL compressor limiter gate
DBX crossover
My G5 imac will show up for playback

8 speakers hidden through out the set.

I've managed to build up a budget rack for our (mostly musical) theater:

* 18 wireless
--- 12x AKG WMS80, will eventually have to be replaced per FCC
--- 6x Samson Airline 77 w/ AL1 mini clip-on Tx, will be exchanged by mfg per FCC
* 18 channels of compression
--- 4x Behringer MDX4600, vocals
--- DBX 266XL, vocals or instrument
* DOD RTA (just for fun, doesn't really do much)
* Reverb: Lexicon MX200
* CD: Stanton C.500 dual CD player
* EQ: 3x DBX 231 (for six main output channels, 5.1 arrangement)
* Playback: M-Audio Delta 1010 and Delta 66
 
I'm kind in a bind for how to reply. In the past 8 months I have worked on three different rigs and am in the process of upgrading the most recent rig. None of the equipment is mine which stinks. I guess I'll give you guys the list of equipment I'm upgrading to.

In the rack:
Crown XLS-602D 380W@8ohm - 2RU
DBX 231 - dual 31 band graphic eq - 2RU
Furman PL-8-II - 1RU
Gator GRC 10x12PU
Yamaha MG166C Sound Board
Alto HPA-6 - Headphone Amp - 1RU

Rack #1 (wall mounted):
*Crown CL2 amp - house speakers
*Peavey IPS-800 amp - monitors
*(2) 32 band EQs - house, monitors
*Crossover - house
*Sabine 901 feedback exterminator

Rack #2 -
*(16) Sennheiser EW series receivers
*(4) Sennheiser Antenna Splitters
*Lexicon Effects Processor
*5-disc Sony CD Player
*Super-VHS Tape Player
*Sony DVD Player
*Avocent Longview Wireless Laptop Receiver (for on-stage/in-house presentations where the laptop input can be wireless transmitted to our installed projection system)
*15" Acer monitor for projection system cuing
