I didnt know about server psu so will check that out. 24 port switches are expensive, all 3 switches are far cheaper than those big switches, tho im not sure if I add more 8 port switches ill be doing daisy chaining.
you’re clients are 1gbe… you can get a brand new unmanaged 24 port gbe switch for $50/£56 a fraction of one of those machines… https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tenda-Ethernet-Internet-Splitter-TEG1024D/dp/B09DPLVLPY/ -- not to mention you can get a used managed switch for less than half that.
if £56 is going to break your bank then get some double sided velcro and clean up your mess. wish you had mentioned your obscenely limited budget…
Budget is not an issue but noise, I sleep next to those machines like between me and them is the table desk u see on the right. So looking at that large switch i think it would have fans and such that would make alot of noise
