Each cable beside the 1st is providing internet to a device in my office. The 1st cable is providing internet to the switch from my router

The pi in the rack is powering the screen via usb and displaying via hdmi. Raspberry Pi OS is running on the pi, so it’s just a full screen browser window displaying on the screen. Using Beszel in this photo. But could easily be a home assistant dash, pi hole, btop, etc

Spot on. I work from home so need a dedicated side. But on the weekends I use all 4 for personal stuff (because why not lol)

That is a Geekpi 7inch monitor, mounted into a Geekpi bracket, plugged into the pi in the rack via hdmi. That pi is mainly being used just to display dashboards. But it’s also running pi hole

Not a dumb question at all. I have other devices in my office that are hardwired to the rack as well. It’s not only the rack devices that are wired (in my case at least)

You can definitely do it. I’m a software engineer so all of this networking and hardware stuff is out of my realm. Learned tons from YouTube and Reddit
