I'm not sure about the details of "network install", but you shouldn't
need 7 CDs to install debian. One will do to get you up and running,
and then you can pull whatever packages you need over the net. Also,
I'm suspicious about this "no Internal PCI cards" business. Where is
this stated?

If money is such an issue and you have some bandwidth, there's no need
for you to buy the CDs. Just download them.
