so about 10 months ago I was looking for a cisco fully managed 1gb switch for sub $100, and I found one that is close
I found a and bought
2970
it runs 12.2-44 (lastest version)
24ports of full gb
one model is just 24 gb ports and one is 24 gb ports and 4 SFP ports
I get around 120mb when moving files.
does etherchannel LACP etc.
sadly only layer 2 (no intervlan routing)
these are at EOL but great for cheap gb
you can find them for around $100 to $150 on ebay (some listing are over but I found when getting mine some sellers will go lower)
I got mine for $110 but I offered the guy that amount
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=cisco+2970&_sop=15
here is a Pic of Mine (its the one with all the ports used)
case if you are wondering I have in order from top 2610, 2621 3524,3550,2970,1841 then file server then Misc server
