mattx Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I'm on the scout for a gigabit switch for home - so have been looking on E-bay for any second hand bargins when this catches my eye: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/8-Port-10-100-1000-Gigabit-Network-Switch-LAN-Giga-bit_W0QQitemZ310020469631QQihZ021QQcategoryZ51268QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Anyone had any experience with this at all ? My brain is telling me to steer clear but at £15 I really want to see just how bad it really is !!!! [ or not ]
Oops_my_bad Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Are you sure it's a gigabit switch and not an aircraft flight recorder??
FN-GM Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Compatible with Windows, XP, Vista, MAC, Linux and many others I shpuld hope so
DanW Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 it's not £14.99 .... its £14.99 + £17.99 postage Dan
FN-GM Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Its rather expensive for the size of the item, don't you think?
mattx Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 it's not £14.99 .... its £14.99 + £17.99 postage Dan So the postage holds more value than the switch - just about says it all....
DanW Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 yes... but the question is ..do you really need a gigabit network at home?
mattx Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 yes... but the question is ..do you really need a gigabit network at home? No, I need a 10 gigabit network, but I can't afford that yet.....;-)
DanW Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 No, I need a 10 gigabit network, but I can't afford that yet.....;-) hehe
powdarrmonkey Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 My brain is telling me to steer clear but at £15 I really want to see just how bad it really is !!!! Your brain speaks truth. You can do better than that branded and new, I've never even heard of them. It would be interested to see how terrible it really is though.
Joedetic Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) I've got a mate who had a 16 port gigabit Netgear switch on ebay last week. They took it down because he put "as new" in the listing title. Edited February 14, 2008 by Joedetic
