[voxadam]

While looking for something entirely unrelated I ran across a listing for a 32 port 40GbE Dell Force10 Z9000 switch for $250 (plus, shipping), which seems like a pretty damn good price.

450 watts idle!! and one of the loudest things you'll ever hear...no IPv6 either. However if you have an isolated soundproof bunker and free power, not a bad deal

 

[T_Minus]

If you NEED 32 40GbE connections 450w and acquisition cost is pretty irrelevant be it $200 $1000 or $4000 you've got magnitudes more in the host systems.

If you NEED something with 32 ports of 40gbE you'd be buying something from this century like a 7050QX for a few hundred bucks more

Exactly
