looking for network switch

[Nerwin]

Hey guys i'm looking for a 5 port 10/100 MBPS mini switch thats under $25. [if you can find one thats has 10/100/1000 MBPS that would be ok also]

I'm thinking to go with this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16833124005

but wanted see what you guys thought first.

I don't have any 100 or 1000 mbit, but i have a stack of 3com 12 and 24 port 10 meg switches i wouldn't mind getting rid of.

I have about 10 in a stack I don't need.

The other one NewEgg has on there site has better electronic components inside, this is why it uses 12V and not 7.5V: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16833124016

I know the other one is 10 buck cheaper after mail in rebates, but still. I personally would only buy a switch if it would have internal power supply but that will be 50 bucks and up .

Thanks puntoMX,

The blue ones are LinkSYS (old), the gray ones LinkSYS/Sisco (new) .

EDIT: I sell LinkSYS products as my main brand for network products, they have good service and more important, very good products although some are a bit overpriced.

Why do you think LinkSYS is giving that mail in rebate? They want to get writ of the old stuff first .
