Sorry for stating the obvious but why not save even more money and go
wireless?

Security might be one very good reason, then there is cost, assuming
that the OP already owns most of his own hardware (such as routers
and switches etc.), cat5 cable is cheap providing it's bought from
the right places.

Cable is indeed cheap.

Running and terminating it correctly (with patchbays and wall cabs etc) is
not so cheap.
