I've got a second Mac mini that does all my media storage, although I'm increasingly thinking that's a waste of good electricity.
It's slaved to a nice Drobo, as is the iMac upstairs.
Communication
Twitterrific is my constant companion despite everything Twitter is doing to hobble the third party clients after riding those clients to prominence.
Productivity
OmniFocus is how I keep my life organized and projects moving forward, and I have all three versions so I can use them in appropriate contexts.

Notes
OmniOutliner is great for putting things in order, whether it be writing or lists.
Media
I use Aperture for library management and whole-photo editing.
Acorn gets use for lightweight image work.
Storage
To continue the backup story, I'm a SuperDuper! guy to clone drives nightly.
I like Time Machine, but it's better for saving your bacon with versioning and deleting files than anything else.
I use CrashPlan's systems to back up and host friends' backups.
Other
Yojimbo is increasingly becoming my digital storage trunk.
