I picked up this Cisco SRW2008 10/100/1000Mbps Managed Gigabit Switch

If you're setting up a home office or a small office it's normally difficult to get excited about network switches but this switch just might be worth getting excited about. The Linksys SRW2008 WebView fully managed switch brings gigabit speeds to your users, while adding a whole new level of intelligence and security to network. The eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports enable you take advantage of the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces shipping on the current generation of servers, workstations and storage devices, in addition to supporting existing 10/100 Mbps clients. The optional mini-GBIC ports allow you to expand network as your business grows.For security, the SRW2008 incorporates IEEE 802.1 VLANs, IEEE 802.1X port authentication and MAC-based Filtering. Along with that, the switch has Access Control Lists (ACL), which provide more granular security settings, but also improved QoS control through IEEE 802.1p, Diffserv or ToS prioritization schemes. The enhanced QoS capability, combined with the SRW2008's advanced traffic management features ensures clear and reliable voice and video communications. So, are you starting to get excited yet? Then check out this switch and get your network up and running!
