1a. Drill a hole in the wall separating the 2 rooms and pull a LAN cable over.

1b. Get a pair of homeplugs to connect via home electrical wiring. Do this for newer homes.

2. Googling tells you there are 4 slots.

3. Dell FTW.

1) Ideally, get a PCI-E wireless adapter for the best internet speeds as the PCI-E slot offers the most bandwidth for your data. USB dongles tends to offer the worst performance due to the limited data bandwidth of the USB 2.0 port.

2) 1X PCI-E 3.0 X16, 1X PCI-E 2.0 X16, 2X PCI-E X1

3) The Dell has an IPS screen which is said to have better colour reproduction while the AOC has a TN screen which is cheaper to produce and has faster pixel response rate.
