I just got a Dell 8132 for under $1100 including buying rails separately. Was not "great" but was OK.
Decided that I needed to go a completely different direction in order to get the quality and performance I need.
I thought for sure I could find some quality used switches for around $4K but I guess thats not happening with Base-T right now. Had to up budget and use Juniper QFX5100-48T's instead -- which end up being MASSIVE overkill for ToR/Server Access but I get it at the same price as Brocade and whatever other lesser brand switches, so might as well get use it.

Netgear XS712T-100NES 12-Port ProSafe 10 Gigabit Smart Switch XS712T
~1400$ new iirc.
I got a handful of Intel 2 Port 10GigE NICs, a LB4M, and a NetGear ProSafe GS752TPS 48 Port PoE 'Smart Switch' to round out the major upgrades. I have a couple other NetGear "smart" POE switches that I'm impressed with and will continue to use. Zyxel USG50 router, Cisco Router w/T1 WIC (potentially getting dedicated fiber soon, or a 2nd T1). (We have 0 internet options but satellite or cellular which is bad bad bad now that so many people have cell phones.) Ubiquiti LR AP. I also have a 3G setup w/Antenna & AMP for backups, I plan to unload that gear and go 4G.
It should be noted, this is for my home network. I do misc dev. work, testing, etc. at home, but mostly I hate the 1Gb/s limit with the usage of SSD on all my PCs and servers now.
