Where did you get that switch Brian? I need to get one for my buddy's house.
BTW, how much for that Leviton panel mount?

It looks like they are about $100. That does not sound too bad. However, I still don't know the difference between a switch and a router even though I have been told several of times. If you connected this switch to a 10/100 router would everything connected to the switch be able to talk at 1G or would the speed be decreased somehow by the weaker router? Would you even need a router or would a switch do the trick for all situations?
As long as all computers in the house had gigabit nics, then all interhouse communications would run at 1 gig, the connection from the switch to your broadband router would be technically a 100 mb connection but your only really getting the amount of bandwidth that your isp provides usually not more the 5 mb.
You would still need the router as the switch is a dumb switch with no port translation, configuration, redirection, or firewall

The main reason is transferring files. I backed up a computer on my network and it took nearly an hour, each way.
I got mine off eBay for 145.00 shipped. Best price I could find but on gigabit swithes. I needed to upgrade to a bigger switch anyways. I will start adding gigabit cards in each computer.
