Gigabit Ethernet Switch recommendations
Can anyone recommend a good but cheap (£25 or less) Gigabit switch? Only needs 4 or 5 ports.

At that price your not going to go wrong 
We've used a couple of the previous 8 port models at NTHW LAN parties. They've worked just fine and given the amount of data that some of our clanners leech they do get put under a lot of pressure.

On the other hand it might be silly to get only a 5 port switch when an 8 port is available for even less money: http://www.ebuyer.com/259792-tp-link...tch-tl-sf1008d

They also do an 8 port version for less than £25 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000N9B688

Re: Gigabit Ethernet Switch recommendations
Cheers guys 
I'll probably go with the Amazon one because of the delivery (plus I have a £5 code to use too).

Re: Gigabit Ethernet Switch recommendations
I've got one of these as well...
Had it for about 3 months - no complaints. Matt - did you get the PoE converters with yours? I got some with mine but not used them yet.
