Just out of curiosity, what are you planning on using the LPS for? If it’s for the Mac Mini, how are you connecting the two?

I’ve removed the power supply from the Mac Mini and replaced it with a custom made power strip in the Mac, and have an exturnal power supply feeding it. TEKA DAK is pretty common for this.

Just curious about your network design.

I tend to be quite conservative in my design as I want the network to NOT be a bottleneck.
A layer 2 design using aggregation layer switch and an access switch with per room/zone. All GB rated
A fast router with a SFP link to the aggregation switch. I prefer to run the router bridged to the ISP service or put my router in the DMZ.
Firewall configuration and QOS to a minium.
