Now that's something I hadn't considered, and is a great idea.

We use several devices at work where we have to resort to Cat 5 power
injectors, but true power over Ethernet for a cheap grid device would
be pretty nice.

Though, the cost of the PoE switch might offset the cost savings a bit.
  ;)  The simplification might be well worth it, though.
