Dell also has a 8 port web managed GB switch for ~$100. But, Dell
switches are rebranded DLinks. The chassis is metal and comes with rack
ears, though.

I have finally gotten around to building my NAS and have it online happily
storing my many gigabytes of files. To maximize its use I want to upgrade my
network to gigabit which means I need a switch and a couple cards. There are
all the usual suspects, netgear, linksys, d-link, etc.. Are any of them better
than the rest? A 5 port switch would probably suffice but 8-10 ports would be
prefered all things considered. :-)
The linksys should be solid, netgear as well. I hate dlink but that is
personal :)
Get whatever has the ports you need and is cheap.
