I currently have a 2724, but am looking for something to serve other ports around the house(TV/AV stuff, Xbox, roommate/guest computers). Looking for another 24port switch and was thinking something like the HP 1410-24G. Anyone have any experience with that switch or a switch like it? I am thinking I dont need any management, but I could get a HP 1810 or Dell 2x24 for not much more.

I like and use the 1810-24g - rock solid, no fan so silent, can set up teaming and other basic management things... I haven't actually tried VLANs with one of them but that's another consideration. Our own one has been running for ~12 months with I think one power-down due to moving a UPS in that time and it's been faultless. If you can get them for not much more I'd go for one over the 1410 - basic management may come in handy down the track.
Seconded.
I have had mine for 18 months and have no complaints at all. They were going for around S$410 over here (so around US$280) as HP were running a sale. Well worth it if you can stretch to it. The 1405-24G was around S$310 (around US$200).
By far my most popular switch. I have sold a couple of 8 ports and 24 ports to customers recently and have a 48 port at home waiting for collection by a SME. The 1810-XXG series is great

You might also want to compare with the Cisco SG series prisewise. Ofcourse the 1810 is one of the cheapest real Procurve switches by HP, and the SG really only a Linksys if I ain't wrong but still. The SG300 for example also does layer 3 and has a pretty big packet buffer for a single instance of Jumbo frames and iscsi if you are into that. They are both fanless except for the PoE models and I believe the 300 even has a IOS like interface with one of the latest firmwares.
I just checked my order history... I bought a 1400-24G in August, 2008 for $250. Exactly four years ago now. I have a simple home network, don't need any management or layer-3 functionality. And for my purposes, this switch has been perfect. All it's ever done is "just work".
