Well I noticed this on the Routerboard.com site today: RouterBoard.com : CSS326-24G-2S+RM Great price for a basic L2 24 port GigE + 2x 10Gb SFP+ switch that'll handle simple functions. If you aren't doing any L3 or LACP this should be a great low power option. I use their RB260GS (also runs...

Anyone have anything good/bad to say about the s6500 chassis? The prices are getting pretty good on ebay as of late, and you can get a sl390s G7 node w/ 10Gb network (or IB) for a great price.

Quanta LB4M HP Brocade Open Source Switch 90 Day Warranty 100 Tested | eBay I ordered 2, they forgot to ship my SFP+ modules with the switches. When I contacted them they shipped them very quickly. Very good customer service.
