I've just picked up a new Airport extreme and as I have ADSL internet I needed a secondary router/modem. I wanted to something to match the Airport Extreme and I came up with the idea of using an old Lacie Mac Mini hard drive companion as a home for my modem/router. The lacie is designed to fit under a mac mini, but the Airport extreme is the exact same size.

Router: netgear DG834

It turned out well I think

I get my Internet via ADSL. So I have to have a modem to go with my airport. I wish Apple did one with the modem included.

Man, that would be awesome!

This is my AE setup, with the same modem you have:
