Um, no. While they're a PITA to configure (you need a Windows PC with
Adobe Air), Netgear's GS105E are dirt cheap, fanless,
5-Port-1-Gig-VLAN-capable switches. Sales price here in Germany is below
30 EUR including VAT.

I heard the 8-port model GS108E is actually easier to configure (Web GUI
instead of Adobe-Air-based proprietary tool), but I can't claim personal
experience with that, so don't take my word for it, but ask someone who
actually configured it.
