How about HP ProCurve Switch 2900-48G, way cheaper than Cisco's (4K even each) and they have 4 X 10 gig ports on the back, two of which are 10 gig CX4 so you can use them to trunk distances of < 15M without needing optical transceivers or fibers.
They are becoming my standard top-of-rack switch as I can dual home them at 10 gig and still have 2 more 10 gig ports for iSCSI use. Simon On 6/25/07, Dale W.
