Default Re: LAN party switch: When is Gigabit a good idea?

Thanx guys. Given the budget and everything, I think I found a switch by, of all companies, Asus that seems to have exactly what I want.

Newegg.com - ASUS GigaX1024P 10/100Mbps + 1000Mbps Switch 24 RJ-45 for 10 /100Mbps BASE-TX ports 2 RJ-45 for 10/100/1000Mbps BASE-T ports Up to 8,000 MAC Address Table - Retail

24 ports 10/100 and 2 extra ports for 1Gbps for just over $100 sounds like a smoking deal to me. Hopefully I have better experience with this product than I have on their mobo lines a few years back. Figure I can do a server on a single gig line, and expansion (if never needed, not likely though) on the second one. Another thing that drove me to this is the fanless desing. This will probably sit in the closet in my room, and I worked so hard for a silent PC, might as well try and get whatever else I can silent.
