Well, right now I've compared things to a Dell PowerConnect switch,
which can easily be had for 100-200 off ebay....

I've got a Cisco Catalyst 3524 at home.  24x standard ethernet ports
running at 10/100, and 2 GBIC (gigabit) ports.  Has all the great
management stuff you could want and they are somewhat affordable these
days on eBay.

If you want all the ports to be gigabit, AND you want management &
vlan's, then cost is going to be an issue.
