Moved
Moved from Tegenaria. Shape and size of palp make me sure of ID.

Moved
Moved from Spiders. I agree with Mandy's ID, but I'm not certain enough to move it to species level.

Funnel Web?
Resembles one of the funnel web spiders. Maybe from genus Tegenaria.

Maybe someone else can give an opinion to back me up (2AM spider IDs can be tricky o.o)

Looks like...
...a male Hobo spider (Tegenaria agrestis). I have a huge population of Hobos around my house and have identified many of them using their epigynum or palps. It's because of this that I feel like I can say that this spider you submitted is a Hobo.
