(reply to an older posting, I'm trying to catch up....)
Matt,
I bought some Dell PowerConnect 2708 switches last fall. That is a
smaller 8 port gig switch, it was the cheapest one I could find that
did port mirroring. About $82 now, go onto Dell's website as small
business or the price might go up drastically (under the EDU section,
it was about $100 more).
The 2708 is smaller, I wanted to mount it inside a box up a grain
leg, so that was what I wanted. They have 16 and 24 port versions.
All them come with ears for rack mounting. The 24 port one has two
fiber ports.
I've had one installed at 140' for about two months now with no
issues. The other one is in my basement NOC, guess I'll need to move
that to my other POP before CALEA kicks in. (ugggh, this weekend!
time flies...)
---------------------
One concern I had with these is the temperature rating. Only goes
down to 32 F. But the switches that were rated for colder were much
more expensive and didn't do port mirroring until $300+. But I've
had Allied Telesys cheap switches that are also rated to 32 last thru
the winter with no problems. (think we hit -20 in February)
That SMCGS24C-SMART that Ty Carter mentions also sounds interesting.

The basic parts you'll need are:
Linux based router or tap capabilities on the on you have.
OR a managed switch that will allow you to mirror a port.
Does anyone reccommend a good switch that supports this and is rack
mount? Hopefully available at newegg.com. Putting together a Linux
server is easy but my luck a good switch might be backordered when I
need it.
