Try sending dell sales an email. The thing with switches is to find one that doesn't use an external power pack as they are the bits that fail first. That's why I like the dell switches, the power supplies are inside. They are re-branded somethings, some American brand whose names I forget. And yes sometimes it is easier to look at the Dell usa site for info and guide to pricing. I can't remember what I paid for the last 24 port managed dell gigbit switch but it is very competitive.

C Andrew I couldn't find an unmanaged Dell gigabit switch - only one with two gigabit ports and the rest 10/100. Not that we necessarily need that performance now.... but the other ones david was looking at were gigabit switches. No online pricing - site says we have to contact an Dell sales rep. How much??? Of interest: The Dlink model in USA has lifetime warranty except 3yrs on power supply, different from australia 3 yrs/1yr. Netgear specs quote MTBF of 87,600 hours = 10 years.
