Is it too hard to simply run Ethernet cable?
In saying that I ran TV coaxial for a fellow with a 2 storey house and how he wanted it was an absolute pain and took hours of stuffing around, it ran to a downstairs garage from inside his ceiling coming from the satellite dish.

My kitchen is filled with a fully populated HP C7000 blade server cabinet, a HP 48 tape backup library, a HP Proliant DL360 G7 server which acts as a firewall and router and other gear. That's one of 4 (from memory) C7000 blade cabinets and we have a C3000 blade cabinet not currently in use because I'm too lazy to build a rack for it. Plus a few disk shelves.
Why the kitchen?
It's the only room in the house with the room to put it.
Don't ask about 24 and 48 port switches, mini servers (HP micro server G8) and other computer gear, too much for me to even comprehend, and fibre/Ethernet cables running through the rooms suspended from the ceiling with rope.
I live in a tiny 2 bedroom commission house.
