I've been meaning to switch the systems in my shack to fiber for years. Never have gotten around to it...
<quote> The question is what is the price point for doing so? I could find a 1gb fiber PCIE card when doing a quick look, but no prices. </quote> Fiber PCIe cards are readily available for between $100 and $200... on NewEgg, for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833114032 (I'm not recommending this card, I'm merely providing it as an example) For point-to-point links you're fine. But where things get seriously pricey is getting your infrastructure established. A single run of MM fiber isn't so bad, because you could terminate it with a converter. But the price of switches with SC connectors is pretty high. Your best bet is looking around to find surplus equipment.
