I can just about get by with 4 computers, a router and a switch (no
wireless, for security reasons), on, under, and near my desks.

Time was, your Novell server was also your router--saved one piece of
equipment that way. It was Novell which pioneered the idea of
dedicated servers--servers which do one thing very efficiently. A bit
too expensive for home users though.
