Hey, I'm shortly going to be constructing my first build. I'm in the middle of purchasing some of the components. Anyway, I was wondering how I'm supposed to connect to the Internet with my new PC. Yeah, I know that I can buy one of those ugly wireless networking cards, but I really want an Ethernet connection.
The only problem is that the only thing in my room that an Ethernet cable can plug into is a phone jack, and I would need an Ethernet/phone jack converter to utilize that. Regardless, I'm not going to do this because I heard that's sketchy and might not work.
I can't run my Ethernet cable from my PC upstairs, through the wall, and down into the first story to plug into the router. That's also out of the question. In addition, I'm not keeping my PC downstairs to remedy that issue.
Anyway, I've been considering something called Power over Ethernet, or PoE. The only problem is I'm not sure this is going to work. In fact how does it even work? Are there any other options? The PoE seems pretty cheap, so that's cool. Here's an example of one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0ZK-0029-00002&cm_re=power_over_ethernet-_-0ZK-0029-00002-_-Product. Thanks, guys.
