Let me get understand what you are saying.

You buy a 10 first class dialin servers (PM3) for a grande total ofr
$170,000, but you won't shell out $3000 for a shiny new cisco Catalyst
1900 25port 10baseT (2 ports of 100baseTX) switch? *BOGGLE*

Skimping on something as important as ethernet switches is a _bad_
_bad idea.
