Fujitsu XG2000 PD-XG2000FB 20-port, 10Gb Ethernet Switch on eBay for EUR 195.00 - approximately £166.59.
Fujitsu XG2000 PD-XG2000FB 20-port, 10Gb Ethernet Switch LSI
I have one and what the auction didn't mention is it came loaded with 8 10Gb optical transceivers and 5 10Gb Cx4 transceivers - can't guarantee what you'll get but that's what I received.
These are noisy so you'll have to replace fans if using them around people, I've already replaced the two 40mm 3 pin fans in one of the power supplies with a couple of Scythe Mini Kaze Ultras - it's pretty close to silent now.
The stock fans(2 per PS, 4 for the case) are set up to blast air, at high pressure, into the case - I'm using less powerful quieter fans to suck warm air out, my use for the switch is low traffic so hopefully it's not going to get too hot anyway. When I remove all the cooling fans the switch temperature is rated at higher than normal but acceptable, so when I replace the stock fans with quieter versions I expect the thermal situation, already OK without fans, to get better.
So that's it really, importing a LB6M to the UK would have cost me over £300 this cost me about £200 delivered and came with a tonne of transceivers. I'm happy, hope this is of interest to someone.
