I use the 1 GbE ethernet card in wifi slot with the elitedesk, then replace the vga removable port with 3d printed module in thingiverse to fit the ethernet port output. Quite a saver than having to find mini pc that support 2 GbE ethernet and a good processor which is more expensive (not to mention unknown bios support).
Honestly, these little things are great!
FYI - you can get 2.5GbE cards that slot into the WiFi slot on the motherboard and pig-tail a line out one of the antenna ports.

Yes! Or get creative with a dremel and pliers… Sometimes it’s worth sacraficing the odd VGA port (or equiv) along the way.
