**Edit** ---> So... I found this and it suits all my needs haha, shall I get it? Cisco WS-C6509-E, W/ (2) WS-SUP32-GE-3B, (3) WS-X6148-GE-TX & DUAL WS-CAC-2500W

Do they make a smaller model of this?
That's a chassis switch with only gigabit ports no 10G ports so not sure it quite does.

The Quanta LB6 has quite a few users on here, if you search for LB6M you'll find threads with people's experiences of them.

10G ain't *cheap* yet, but there's a fair bit of *not crazy expensive* last-gen equipment on the 2nd hard market. Downside is that some of it isn't the easiest to manage in the world and they consume quite a bit more power than their modern equivalents.

Ok, thanks for that analysis, I'm planning on sticking with just alot of decent switches and doing daisy chain from the 10GB Nics for now. Next year 10gb will be really cheap so I'll jump on it then probably.
