It = would be stuck in a closet, headless, so I'm not concerned about video = or sound or sleep, but would like gigabit network.

This = is probably more info than you're interested in, but the bottom line is = I would like cheep, simple and easy.

Any advise would be greatly = appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
