Surplus stores. Plenty of perfectly good 10/100 8 port (even 24 and 32 ports) switches out there, replaced by gigabit switches. There's a whole shelf of them at ecoBinary in Beaverton. For my own office, I scored a 32 port gigabit switch with a broken power supply that I knew how to fix. I use the huge bandwidth for backups every night, but normal users less obsessive about backup can easily get by with 100 mbps.
