Had a bunch of RPi4s that were pulled out of another project, along with a bunch of PoE hats. Also picked up a rack setup a couple years back, during the shortages, when its price was depressed. Added a PoE switch and a desktop rack. Impractical, but I hate ebaying stuff and it's for the lulz.

Had all sorts of weird issues with them, couldn't figure it out; wound up replacing the network cables with fancy-shmancy cat7. Might've been a grounding issue the shielded cables fixed.

Just about to ask this. Did a project like that well over a decade ago using crappy 300mhz PC's.
