I converted an old system to a server, and the WOL was super unreliable (poor mobo support, crappy network, ??). Wound up getting a PiKVM setup for $100 + RPi5 (Geekworm KVM-A8 Kit "PCIe" Version) which works pretty well, if perhaps overkill. The "official" PiKVM hardware is a bit more expensive (~$300 but also has a fancy steel case and HDMI passthrough) There's a BliKVM "card" which also looks interesting and I'd probably use if I did it again because I was trying to fit the card above the GPU and it took some modding.
