It all depends on the card as to what a fair price is. We've been buying an Intel based NIC with SFP ports for our MikroTik routers. They come in either PCIx or PCIe form with 2, 4 or 6 port options. They work great. In fact if anyone is interested we currently have a few too many of the PCIe 6 port SFP version. These cost around $800 - $1200 and we can let them go for about half that. They are all new in box never used...just overstocked on them right now. I can also include Multi-Mode SFP fiber modules for a nominal additional charge.

Well, for that many NIC included, you got a steal. A single 4port Intel oem Gig card PCI-e costs $430 new. (Actually that is probably not true, cause its probably an older model that doesn't have PCI-E nic cards.)

I picked up the Gateway model, equipped with nine 4-port ethernet expansion boards, for $625 on Ebay. Seems like a good deal altho I don't know what this model costs new with the added ports. Way more than we really need. I'm looking forward to trying it out tho.

Call support and they can fix your ImageStream issues. Need to push a little bit and use the phone. To this day I've not had a response to my emails without a phone call.
