Switch: ZyXEL 48-Port GbE Smart Managed Switch with 10GbE uplink SFP Ports (XGS1910-48)
@ Zarathustra[H]
Just read the datasheet?
ftp://ftp.zyxel.com/XGS1910-24/datasheet/XGS1910-24_5.pdf
We have several users here that have the GS1910-24 including myself and they're great for the price, much better than the HP 1810 in my opinion.

Ready for the future 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the ZyXEL XGS1910 Series collocates 2/4 10GbE connectivity for uplinks that allow SMBs to deliver higher bandwidth for congestion relief and smooth data delivery. Furthermore, 10GbE Gigabit uplinks to desktops also allow businesses to become highly efficient IT environments for secure, smooth daily online operations.
Aren't those the old prescott P4 servers? Wouldn't be too bad for keeping an apartment/house toasty in the winter! That being said, I recently picked up a cheap lenovo server (minus hard drive) off amazon to use as a pfsense router (I've been wanting one for awhile) and double as an HTPC via windows server (hyper-v for pfsense):

I saw it linked on the pfsense subreddit and was prettysurprised at the price, especially when people were looking at little atom powered netboxes for about the same price. A C226 mobo alone costs > $150 for a new one on newegg, so I'm curious as to what the quality will be. Just an option if you ever decide you do need an upgrade or just want something to play on.

They're just SFP+ Ports. They can be used for everything a normal port can be used for.
They can be used to "stack" two switches together also.
Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer a fully managed switch but this one does all the basics and I can't justify the cost of the other managed switches.
The switch isn't very picky about the SFP+ adapters. My NICs were more picky than the switch was. I bought some really cheap fiber ones from fiberstore.com

How much do you guys pay for all this hardware and server OS, etc?
Or do you get discounts, being in the business, that aren't available to the rest of us who are just enthusiasts?
