Yep, I have a 3000va unit in my main basement rack. I had to run a 30A circuit for it.

The cheapest solution, assuming you have a drill, a small jab saw, a measuring tape, an optional stud finder, and some sort of fishing line, is to run it in the wall. Then the only cost is the Ethernet cable, which is super cheap in bulk. You could do finished keystone jacks on both ends to make it look nice, but they aren’t necessary.

Next to that the next cheapest is probably an old wifi router or AP to pipe the Ethernet from the poweredge into and then a wifi card in your computer.

Power line adapters are also an option.

Wow, that’s cool. Is that an Intel based nic, driver support is good?

The m700 is a fine box, but doesn’t have the PCIe slot for an add in nic. This would limit it’s utility as a router box. Even a m720q with a pentium would work well as a router box.

A Lenovo m720q with a PCIe riser for your NIC. Try to get on with the 8th gen i5. These typically go for ~$100USD on hardwareswap, and a bit more in ebay.

This is great!
